This collection contains individual-level and 1-percent national sample data from the 1960 Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Census Bureau. It consists of a representative sample of the records from the 1960 sample questionnaires. The data are stored in 30 separate files, containing in total over two million records, organized by state. Some files contain the sampled records of several states while other files contain all or part of the sample for a single state. There are two types of records stored in the data files: one for households and one for persons. Each household record is followed by a variable number of person records, one for each of the household members. Data items in this collection include the individual responses to the basic social, demographic, and economic questions asked of the population in the 1960 Census of Population and Housing. Data are provided on household characteristics and features such as the number of persons in household, number of rooms and bedrooms, and the availability of hot and cold piped water, flush toilet, bathtub or shower, sewage disposal, and plumbing facilities. Additional information is provided on tenure, gross rent, year the housing structure was built, and value and location of the structure, as well as the presence of air conditioners, radio, telephone, and television in the house, and ownership of an automobile. Other demographic variables provide information on age, sex, marital status, race, place of birth, nationality, education, occupation, employment status, income, and veteran status. The data files were obtained by ICPSR from the Center for Social Analysis, Columbia University. (Source: downloaded from ICPSR 7/13/10)

Context

The world's population has undergone remarkable growth, exceeding 7.5 billion by mid-2019 and continuing to surge beyond previous estimates. Notably, China and India stand as the two most populous countries, with China's population potentially facing a decline while India's trajectory hints at surpassing it by 2030. This significant demographic shift is just one facet of a global landscape where countries like the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria, and others, each with populations surpassing 100 million, play pivotal roles.

The steady decrease in growth rates, though, is reshaping projections. While the world's population is expected to exceed 8 billion by 2030, growth will notably decelerate compared to previous decades. Specific countries like India, Nigeria, and several African nations will notably contribute to this growth, potentially doubling their populations before rates plateau.

The Brain Health Data Pilot (BHDP) project aims to be a shared database (like a library) of information for scientists studying brain health, especially for diseases like dementia, which affects about 900,000 people in the UK. Its main feature is a huge collection of brain images linked to routinely collected health records, both from NHS Scotland, which will help scientists learn more about dementia and other brain diseases. What is special about this database is that it will get better over time – as scientists use it and add their discoveries, it becomes more valuable.

This dataset is a subset of the Prescribing Information System (PIS) data for use with the BHDP project.

The information is supplied by Practitioner & Counter Fraud Services Division (P&CFS) who is responsible for the processing and pricing of all prescriptions dispensed in Scotland. These data are augmented with information on prescriptions written in Scotland that were dispensed elsewhere in the United Kingdom. GP’s write the vast majority of these prescriptions, with the remainder written by other authorised prescribers such as nurses and dentists. Also included in the dataset are prescriptions written in hospitals that are dispensed in the community. Note that prescriptions dispensed within hospitals are not included. Data includes CHI number, prescriber and dispenser details for community prescribing, costs and drug information. Data on practices (e.g. list size), organisational structures (e.g. practices within Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) and NHS Boards), prescribable items (e.g. manufacturer, formulation code, strength) are also included. Around 100 million data items are loaded per annum.

The Paradise Papers is a cache of some 13GB of data that contains 13.4 million confidential records of offshore investment by 120,000 people and companies in 19 tax jurisdictions (Tax Heavens - an awesome video to understand this); that was published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) on November 5, 2017. Here is a brief video about the leak. The people include Queen Elizabeth II, the President of Columbia (Juan Manuel Santos), Former Prime Minister of Pakistan (Shaukat Aziz), U.S Secretary of Commerce (Wilbur Ross) and many more. According to an estimate by the Boston Consulting Group, the amount of money involved is around $10 trillion. The leak contains many famous companies, including Facebook, Apple, Uber, Nike, Walmart, Allianz, Siemens, McDonald’s and Yahoo.

It also contains a lot of U. S President Donald Trump allies including Rax Tillerson, Wilbur Ross, Koch Brothers, Paul Singer, Sheldon Adelson, Stephen Schwarzman, Thomas Barrack and Steve Wynn etc. The complete list of Politicians involve is avaiable here.

I am calling all data scientists to help me stop the corruption and reveal the patterns and linkages invisible for the untrained eye.

Inspiration

Some ideas worth exploring:

1. How many companies and individuals are there in all of the leaks data

2. How many countries involved

3. Total money involved

4. What is the biggest best tax heaven

5. Can we compare the corruption with human development index and make an argument that would correlate corruption with bad conditions in that country

6. Who are the biggest cheaters and where they live

7. What role Fortune 500 companies play in this game

I need your help to make this world corruption free in the age of NLP and Big Data

The KALAHI-CIDSS program was set up in 2002 to alleviate rural poverty in the Philippines. It provides resources to poor rural municipalities to invest in public goods and by reviving local institutions to enhance people’s participation in governance. The project targeted the poorest 25 percent of municipalities in each of the poorest 42 provinces. The government of the Philippines committed $82 million to the project, which was complemented by a $100 million loan from the World Bank. As of December 2010, the project had covered 4,583 barangays (villages) in 200 municipalities and supported 5,645 subprojects, worth Php 5.7 billion and benefiting about 1.26 million households. The program's impact evaluation was designed in 2003 to evaluate general impacts on poverty reduction, social capital, empowerment, and governance. The team collected quantitative and qualitative data before, during, and after project implementation in a sample of KALAHI-CIDSS municipalities that received support ("treatment" municipalities) and from comparable municipalities that did not receive support ("control" municipalities). The quantitative baseline survey was carried out in September-October 2003, the quantitative midterm in October-November 2006 and the quantitative endline survey in February-March 2010. Data were collected on a broad range of indicators: service delivery (access to health, education), poverty (employment, per capita consumption, self-rated poverty), empowerment and governance (group membership, participation in barangay assemblies, collective action). The quantitative sample includes 2,400 households in 135 barangays in 16 municipalities in 4 provinces.
