Research infrastructure The Demographic Data Base (DDB) is a national research infrastructure that registers, processes and disseminates data for research, educational and archival purposes and promotes scientific collaboration and method development.
The Demographic Data Base (DDB) is a national research infrastructure, by a central government ordinance, with a mission to register, process and disseminate data for research, educational and archival purposes and promote scientific collaboration and method development within these field.
The research infrastructure provides several research databases with rich information about Sweden’s population, on the individual- and aggregate level. Data is of high relevance for many scientific fields, and the user base is both national and international.
DDB is located within the Unit for Demography and Aging Research (CEDAR) engaged in multidisciplinary research on demographic change and ageing, and a majority of the researchers at CEDAR use register data, survey data or longitudinal population data in their research. Two of the Swedish Research Council’s national infrastructures, CORS and SwedPop are also located at the unit.
Through the close connection that exists between DDB and the research at CEDAR, we can offer a combination of technical and academic expertise, consulting, user support, and various tools.
