This suggests that synthetic populations based on the 2010 Census should be created using the contingency tables. Our evaluation shows that the so created synthetic population maintains the values and proportions of the contingency tables and presents totals close to those of the microdata.

The data composition strategies of the contingency tables and the microdata are different and, when comparing samples of both data, we find that the race variable in the microdata ignores the presence of minorities in some municipalities.

SeconFirstly, contingency tables are available at the municipal level, for strata defined by race, gender, and education and microdata with personal information. To preserve individual anonymity, the census collapsed some variables into broader categories and removed personally identifiable data.

The 2010 Brazilian Census contains a wealth of information that could enable research and inform policies in health, education, the economy, and other sectors. The census provides publicly available information in two forms.

In the dissertation, I analyzed the evolution and determinants of Brazilian worker retirement (1960–2000) using Censuses and Household surveys. Public pension systems are crucial for elderly well-being, making reform of the Brazilian public pension system essential.

🎉 New research out with @fertdem.bsky.social and @vegardskirbekk.bsky.social !

💡 Time to ART birth decreased since the 2000s, and is shorter for those in their late 30s — likely reflecting improved treatment efficiency and faster access to care.

Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups - PubMed
While assisted reproductive technologies enable individuals facing infertility issues to achieve a live birth, they require more time to succeed. However, since the 2000s, time to ART births has decreased, with the shortest observed among those initiating conception attempts in their late thirties. …

Labour markets are not absorbing the least educated workers. And that the largest earnings differentials by education level are observed among informal sector workers, indicating greater economic inequality within this sector.

Bernardo Lanza Queiroz @blqueiroz.bsky.social · Oct 30
Our results suggest that an increase in the proportion of formal sector workers is positively associated with individual earnings. Higher group proportions have the strongest positive associations with individual earnings for formal sector workers with secondary and university education.

E os microdados do Censo de 2022? Pelo calendário do IBGE, que não está mais no site, estavam previstos para setembro de 2025. E agora?

Os dados de 2010 foram disponibilizados em abril de 2012. Um prazo bem mais curto que o atual. E com um processo bem menos tecnológico.
