Human Mortality Database (ICPSR 138)
Released/updated on: 2006-06-19
Geographic coverage: United States, Wales, England, Iceland, Global, Russia, Netherlands, Sweden, Austria, Latvia, Slovakia, France, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Hungary, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, New Zealand, Canada, Czech Republic, Belgium, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Australia, Germany
The Human Mortality Database (HMD) was created to provide detailed mortality and population data to researchers, students, journalists, policy analysts, and others interested in the history of human longevity. The project began as an outgrowth of earlier projects in the Department of Demography at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, and at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany. It is the work of two teams of researchers in the USA and Germany. The main goal of the database is to document the longevity revolution of the modern era and to facilitate research into its causes and consequences. At present, the database contains detailed data for a collection of 26 countries. The countries involved are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, the total and civilian populations of England and Wales, Finland, France, Germany, West Germany, East Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithunia, Netherlands, the Maori and Non-Maori populations of New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.

Integrated Public Use Microdata Series: North Atlantic Population Project (ICPSR 35985)
Released/updated on: 2015-06-18
Geographic coverage: Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, United States, Norway, Ireland, Egypt, Denmark, Mexico, Germany, Iceland, Albania
The North Atlantic Population Project (NAPP), which was created by research teams in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, is a massive integrated cross-national microdatabase that provides a baseline for studies of demographic change. This project improves the NAPP by tripling the size of the database to approximately 365 million records by adding 40 new datasets for the period 1787 to 1930 from Albania, Great Britain, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Iceland, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States. It also creates linked national panels and merges NAPP with the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS). NAPP provides a baseline for the study of changes in demography and health of European and North American populations. In each country, it provides the earliest census microdata available. It makes available some of the world's largest and longest-running cross-sectional and longitudinal data sources.

Part 3 provides information on births, miscarriages, deaths, the number of live births from unwed mothers, the number of married couples, and the number of persons emigrating overseas and to the United States in 1868, 1875, 1891 to 1895, 1896 to 1900, and 1901 to 1905. Part 4 provides information on inter-communal communication and transportation, such as railways and steamships.

Norwegian Life History Study, 1971 (ICPSR 8545)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: Norway, Global
Time period: 1921-01-01--1971-01-01
This data collection represents interviews with birth cohorts of Norwegian males born in 1921, 1931, and 1941 who were 50, 40, and 30 years of age at the time the interviews were conducted (November 1971 - March 1972). The objective of the study was to investigate historical life changes in the life cycle experiences of Norwegian men. The respondents were asked about the families into which they were born, their childhoods, and their lives from the age of fourteen until the time of the interview. The major areas covered in the interviews include: place of residence, education, work history, income, household status and composition, marital status and family composition, illness and injuries, and receipt of benefits.

Syntax for Creating a Comparative Dataset on Parents' Time Use in Four Countries, 2000-2003 (ICPSR 30021)
Released/updated on: 2011-08-31
Geographic coverage: United States, Norway, United Kingdom, Germany, Global
Time period: 2000-01-01--2003-01-01
This syntax harmonizes four nationally representative time-use datasets from the United States (2003), the United Kingdom (2000-2001), Germany (2001-2002) and Norway (2001). The dataset was created to examine parental time with children. It seeks to remedy several limitations of the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS) datasets, circa 2006, for studying parents' time with children. Specifically, it improves upon data available by utilizing information about who else was present when each activity took place, using more detailed time-use codes, and retaining a wider variety of background variables.
The sample specified in the syntax is restricted to partnered respondents (married or cohabiting) who reside with children aged 14 years or under. Households with children aged 15 years and over and households containing other adults are not included to ensure comparability in the coding of who the respondent was with during each activity. Researchers wishing to use other inclusion criteria can simply alter the syntax provided.
To construct the dataset researchers must obtain the original, publicly-available data from each country directly (described in the User Guide) and then run the syntax available through the ICPSR Web site. Each dataset contains many more variables than we attempted or were able to harmonize. Documentation for each original dataset should be consulted for the availability of additional variables.

Geographic coverage: Cameroon, Malaysia, Portugal, Iceland, Global, Greece, South Korea, Austria, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Luxembourg, Ecuador, Argentina, Georgia (Republic), Japan, Ukraine, India, New Zealand, Canada, Turkey, Taiwan, South Africa, Italy, Macedonia, Peru, Germany, Vietnam (Socialist Republic), Afghanistan, Hong Kong, United States, Bolivia, Russia, Netherlands, Pakistan, Kosovo, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, France, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Uruguay, Philippines, United Kingdom, Kenya, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark, Mexico, Uganda, Israel, Australia, Indonesia
This annual survey, fielded June to December 2004, was conducted in over 50 countries to solicit public opinion on social and political issues. Respondents were asked what they thought was the most important goal for the world as a whole, whether they trusted people from their ethnic group more than people from other ethnic groups, if they heard about various global institutions, and their thoughts of these institutions. They were also asked for their overall opinion of various countries. Respondents were asked to give their opinion on other issues such as globalization, terrorism, and democracy. They were also asked questions concerning the United States. These included whether they think American foreign policy has a positive effect or negative effect on their country, whether the United States plays a positive, negative, or neutral role in the growth of the world economy, the role the United States plays in keeping peace in the world, the role the United States plays in the fight against poverty in the world, and the role the United States plays in the protection of the environment. Additional questions addressed respondents' thoughts on whether their country was governed by the will of the people and whether elections were free and fair. Demographic information includes sex, age, education level, employment status, religious preference, household income, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).
