  • Population and Housing Censuses Indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean: 1960-2017
    Dataset

    By Social Sector (VPS/SCL/SCL)
    The Population and Housing Censuses database contains the censuses harmonized in such a way as to provide comparable census information over time and across countries. The variables in these databases are constructed under a common approach and structure, with standardized names, definitions, and disaggregations, and stored in a single file for each country. Currently, the harmonization of Population and Housing Censuses includes databases for 22 countries. The indicators are categorized into seven themes: demographics, education, labor market, housing, income, migration, and diversity. When possible, we add multiple disaggregations for indicators. The available disaggregations are ethnicity, gender, age, education level, and area of geographic residence. The management and harmonization of this database are provided by the Social Sector (SCL) of the Vice Presidency of Knowledge and Sectors to strengthen the analytical content of projects and studies.

  • Dataset Learning Better: Public Policy for Skills Development: 1990-2016
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    Despite governments’ best efforts, many people in Latin America and the Caribbean don’t have the skills they need to thrive. This book looks at what policies work, and don’t work, so that governments can help people learn better and realize their potential throughout their lifetimes.

  • Bolivia Labor Market Survey: Supply 2022 (Aggregated Data)
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    The database includes information on the evolution of the number of undergraduate students at universities along the central axis of Bolivia between the periods 2020-2021, according to the type of enrollment (new, enrolled, and graduates). For each of these groups, the evolution of the number of students was shown according to the legal nature of the university, the department, and the area of ​​knowledge. On the other hand, the same information was included for students at technical-level universities. This information allows us to characterize the number and distribution of professionals from both public and private universities in the central axis of the country. The data corresponds to the publication: Urquidi et al. (2023). Labor market survey in Bolivia: Supply 2022 at http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005374

  • IDB/Cornell Coronavirus Survey: 2020
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    The IDB/Cornell Coronavirus Survey collects information related to labor market impacts, food security, social distancing, and knowledge of the Covid-19 pandemic through an online survey. The main modules of the questionnaire were standardized across countries to allow data to be pooled and cross-country comparisons to be made. The survey was launched in the first country on March 27, 2020, and most responses were collected during April 2020. Participants were recruited through social media using paid advertising campaigns. The data consists entirely of responses to an online survey and therefore does not collect information on the most vulnerable people, who are likely to lack access to the internet or social media. However, the survey contains information for people from different social strata and subnational regions. In this sense, the data are useful for analyzing different patterns by socioeconomic groups within a country and between countries. The data include weights to...

  • Bioinformatics for Researchers in Life Sciences: Tools and Learning Resources
    Dataset

    By Competitiveness, Technology and Innovation Division (VPS/PTI/CTI)
    The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that bioinformatics--a multidisciplinary field that combines biological knowledge with computer programming concerned with the acquisition, storage, analysis, and dissemination of biological data--has a fundamental role in scientific research strategies in all disciplines involved in fighting the virus and its variants. It aids in sequencing and annotating genomes and their observed mutations; analyzing gene and protein expression; simulation and modeling of DNA, RNA, proteins and biomolecular interactions; and mining of biological literature, among many other critical areas of research. Studies suggest that bioinformatics skills in the Latin American and Caribbean region are relatively incipient, and thus its scientific systems cannot take full advantage of the increasing availability of bioinformatic tools and data. This dataset is a catalog of bioinformatics software for researchers and professionals working in life sciences. It includes more than...
