IPUMS-MICS Data Harmonization Code: Version 1.5

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: IPUMS MICS is a harmonized data collection of Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) collected by UNICEF. IPUMS MICS facilitates comparative research across time and countries. It consists of individual-level and household-level microdata collected through household, female, child, men, and adolescent surveys. IPUMS MICS adds value to the original MICS samples in the following ways: variables are coded consistently across countries and over time; web-based search and discovery tools display variable availability across surveys; documentation is organized on a cross-survey, variable-specific basis; and researchers can identify samples and variables to include in a customized data extract, at no cost.
