Setting up a National On-line Census Data Service

Census data for the years 1981, 1991 and 2001 were analyzed to measure documented population flows from Bangladesh to India and to describe their distribution and stay in India. The limitations of census data as a source of information on international migration are explained. As of 2001, there were 3.1 million and 3.7 million Bangladeshis in India; these are based on place of last residence and place of birth, respectively. The East and Northeast regions received 97 percent of Bangladeshis for the period 1981 to 2001. They also tend to stay for a long period of time in their areas of arrival.

"This book is an overview of how practitioners can work with data from the US Census Bureau using the R programming language. The book will focus on data acquisition and wrangling as well as data analysis and modeling of aggregate and individual-level decennial Census and American Community Survey data. It is designed to be useful for both beginners and advanced users of both R and Census data. Additionally, the book will take advantage of cutting-edge developments in both data wrangling and spatial data analysis in R"--

Disseminating Historical Census Data on the World Wide Web

'Das ursprüngliche Ziel der U.S.-amerikanischen Volkszählung war, Informationen zu erheben, die die Abgrenzung von Stimmbezirken von ungefähr gleicher Bevölkerungsgröße ermöglichten. Heute werden die Zensusdaten immer häufiger in der Forschung sekundäranalytisch genutzt, z.B. für die Arbeits- und Berufsforschung. Der Autor geht daher der Frage nach, wie die Kategorie 'Beruf' sich im Lauf der Geschichte der amerikanischen Volkszählung gewandelt hat und erörtert methodologische Probleme, die entstehen, wenn man mit Hilfe dieser Daten den historischen Wandel der amerikanischen Erwerbsbevölkerung untersucht. Der Autor zeigt, dass Begriffe, Erhebungspraktiken und der historische Kontext einen starken Einfluss darauf haben, welche und wie viele Personen einer Berufsgruppe zugeordnet wurden. Dies betrifft insbesondere bestimmte Personengruppen, etwa verheiratete Frauen, Indianer, Jugendliche und Personen, die aufgehört haben, gegen Bezahlung zu arbeiten.' (Autorenreferat)

This data article describes two data sets about the socioeconomic conditions of recyclers in Cali, the third largest city in Colombia, South America. Data collected were aimed at understanding the social and economic conditions of this population in order to provide information for crafting policy alternatives for poverty alleviation. Information was collected in two waves in 2013 and in 2015. The first data collection (2013) was focused on a subgroup of recyclers and the second data collection (2015) was a census. In total, more than 3000 direct surveys to recyclers were conducted at individual and family level. In both data collection rounds, information about socioeconomic factors, health, working conditions, access to welfare programs and family composition was gathered. Both data rounds were financed by the local government as an input to design policy interventions to improve the recyclers' quality of life in the city. The data of this manuscript is associated with the publication (Estrada et al., 2017).
