Abstract: The Integrated Public Use Microdata Series-International (IPUMS-International) disseminates high-precision census microdata samples from around the world. Since its inception in 1999, IPUMS-International has partnered with official statistical agencies to assemble the worlds largest collection of publicly available census microdata. With over 100 national statistical office (NSO) partners, IPUMS-International currently disseminates integrated data on more than one-half billion persons, spanning five continents and provided at no charge to researchers and students worldwide. The data series includes data from 1960 to 2011, with multiple samples available for most countries. IPUMS-International reduces the barriers to comparative research across time and space by converting international census microdata into a uniform format, providing comprehensive documentation and making the data available to researchers through a Web-based access system.
