The new linking feature uses the DHS cluster points to identify the corresponding IHGIS unit where each respondent lives and provides the IHGIS unit code as a variable on DHS records. Population and agricultural census data from IHGIS are then easily joined to the records based on the unit code. IHGIS data are typically available at the second administrative level and often for even smaller geographic units. The fine-grained geography and richness of these collections facilitate a wide variety of interdisciplinary research. This webinar will provide overviews of the IPUMS DHS and IHGIS collections, introduce the new linking features, and explore examples of research facilitated by the linkages."</p> <p><a href="https://umn.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2Yur8OcRTRKXPX1Wh-I_TA#/registration" target="_blank">Register for the event on Zoom</a></p> https://dcsociologicalsociety.org/event-6668584 https://dcsociologicalsociety.org/event-6668584
