Data in SwedPop consists of linked longitudinal population data on the individual- and family level, panel data from the Swedish National Censuses and from the city of Gothenburg. With a high level of detail and a large geographical coverage, the data is suitable for both large-scale and micro-historical studies. Together the databases provide information about large parts of the Swedish population in the 1900 and 2000th centuries, and the data can be further extended in time by a linkage to more recent population- and research registers.
Data in SwedPop is disseminated in a common database format and with harmonized coding schemes, facilitating comparative studies.
