  • 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.

  • Community Nutrition Program in El Alto, Bolivia Data: 2014-2017
    Dataset

    By Office of Strategic Planning and Development Effectiveness (STC/SPD/SPD)
    The Community Nutrition Program in El Alto, Bolivia is the second phase of a program originally implemented between 2008 and 2011. The newly-structured program had objectives to improve infant and young child feeding practices, hygiene, and child nutritional status through a behavioral-change strategy based on participatory play education. This dataset includes the data of an evaluation survey to this program, which contains three rounds of data—Baseline (2014), endline 1 (2016) and endline 2 (2017)—on an (unbalanced) panel of 2015 households with children under the age of 12 months or pregnant women at baseline. The survey includes a rich set of socio-economic, demographic and nutrition variables. Datasets were anonymized to protect subject privacy. Variable names, their labels, and any actions taken for de-identification purposes are noted in the codebook below.

  • 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...
