Since the beginning of this service rendered to the academia SP deals with
an average of 40 applications and 81 researchers per year. However, the trend
is growing, which may be justified both by the increase of databases made
available per various statistical domains and by the scientific community's
knowledge of this service and availability of data access.
SP has presently a set of 47 microdata databases available, ready to be
requested by researchers for scientific research. All databases have a brief
description of their contents, the related methodological documents and
files/databases registries description, in order to help researchers to make a
better choice.
Those databases are organised in 15 domains:
Domain/Theme N.º of databases Domain/Theme N.º of databases
