The Labor Market Micro-level Database (LM-MD) was developed to facilitate the production of policy relevant labor market analysis. The Database currently includes data from 16 data sets and 8 countries from across the globe. To the extent possible, these data variables were constructed in order to be comparable across time within a country and across countries, with priority given to the former. An Introductory paper explaining the LM-MD project, along with a Methodological Report and Codebook are included in the section below. Additionally, you will find: - An EXCEL file with aggregate statistics of labor market outcomes across all data sets, facilitating cross country comparisons
- An EXCEL file with detailed labor market and poverty indicators for each data set of particular country, which include changes over time
- Detailed micro-level data in STATA format that can be obtained for additional analysis
- Clear documentation on how the data were prepared — including special READ_ME files relevant for each particular data set created. It is imperative that analysts read these files to see the highlights of any assumptions made.
- Links to the complete data set (and questionnaires) that were used to create the LM-MD data sets.
