Series and Systems
Survey families or dataset series are data collection efforts that occurred over a period of time or in several geographic locations, using the same or very similar data collection methodology and instruments. Series may be multinational -- collected in more than one country -- or in a single country. Usually all the datasets in the series are collected with the support of the same institution or institutions, but individual surveys or datasets may have the support or assistance of additional parties. The advantage of series from a research perspective is that often data from a series are more easily comparable than data from a variety of sources.
The STEP (Skills Toward Employment and Productivity) Measurement household survey generates internationally comparable data on skills available in developing countries.
The SHARE Study is a multi-country longitudinal study of aging in Europe.
This survey was conducted to collect information on the health of elderly populations in select Central and Latin American countries.
