Context

Within the current response of a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which in turn causes the disease, called COVID-19. It is necessary to join forces to minimize the effects of this disease.

Therefore, the intention of this dataset is to save data scientists time:

• Gather the data at the country level, encoding the country with its ISO code to allow easy access to other data
• Perform pre-processing of data, calculations of increments and other indicators that can facilitate modeling.
• Add the response of the governments over time so that it can be taken into account in the modeling.
• Daily update.

This dataset is not intended to be static, so suggestions for expanding it are welcome. If someone considers it important to add information, please let me know.

As of December 12, 2021, a total of 6,409 cases of pyrexia (fever) had been reported in Spain after receiving the vaccine against COVID-19 developed by Oxford and AstraZeneca. Similarly to the adverse events recorded with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, pyrexia was on top of the list, followed by headache and myalgia, which reached around 4.7 thousand and 2.9 thousand cases. As of that date, more than 9.7 million Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) vaccines had been used in the European country.

Young Lives research has expanded to explore linking geographical data collected during the rounds to external datasets. Matching Young Lives data with administrative and geographic datasets significantly increases the scope for research in several areas, and may allow researchers to identify sources of exogenous variation for more convincing causal analysis on policy and/or early life circumstances.

Young Lives: Data Matching Series, 1900-2021 includes the following linked datasets:

1. Climate Matched Datasets (four YL study countries): Community-level GPS data has been matched with temperature and precipitation data from the University of Delaware. Climate variables are offered at the community level, with a panel data structure spanning across years and months. Hence, each community has a unique value of precipitation (variable PRCP) and temperature (variable TEMP), for each year and month pairing for the period 1900-2017.

2. COVID-19 Matched Dataset (Peru only): The YL Phone Survey Calls data has been matched with external data sources (The Peruvian Ministry of Health and the National Information System of Deaths in Peru). The matched dataset includes the total number of COVID cases per 1,000 inhabitants, the total number of COVID deaths by district and per 1,000 inhabitants; the total number of excess deaths per 1,000 inhabitants and the number of lockdown days in each Young Lives district in Peru during August 2020 to December 2021.
