Akhter Ahmed. Collected data on (1) plot-level agricultural production and practices, (2) dietary intake of individual household members, and (3) anthropometric measurements of all household members.The BIHS covers 6500 households in 325 primary sampling units. The sample is statistically representative at the following levels: (a) nationally representative of rural Bangladesh; (b) representative of rural areas of each of the seven administrative divisions of the country: Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna, Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Sylhet; and (c) representative of the Feed the Future (FTF) zone of influence.

International Food Policy Research Institute, 2012. The SHAHAR (Supporting Household Activities for Health, Assets and Revenue) project aims to establish household livelihood security for vulnerable urban households. Using relevant indicators, the project intends to assess changes in various household livelihood security measures that are expected due to SHAHAR’s interventions. The information in the baseline dataset is meant to provide a basis for monitoring changes over the life of the project. The SHAHAR Base line Survey was conducted in August 2000 in slums and low-income settlements within the municipal areas of Jessore and Tongi in Bangladesh . Households were selected randomly from a complete listing done as part of a census in the areas only a few months before. The sample size was chosen based on a desire to estimate the prevalence of malnutrition of children 0-60 months old with a confidence level of 90 percent and an error level of 5 percent (requiring a sample size of 271). Because only about half the households had children 60 months and younger, and because a simple random sampling method was used, the team surveyed about twice that number to ensure obtaining a sample of at least 271 households in each location with children 60 months and younger. The team actually surveyed 563 households in Jessore and 557 households in Tongi. This gives higher levels of precision for overall household-level variables.

International Food Policy Research Institute, 2012. The data collected covers 757 households in seven flood-affected rural areas at three points in time over a period of a year between November 1998 and December 1999 to capture the difference in labor participation and food security in the period following the flood and to understand the capabilities of recovering from the shock of the flood. Topics in the household survey include household information, education, employment and training, agricultural activity, fishing and livestock activity, allocation of family labor, social assistance, household assets, credit, housing and sanitation, non-food spending, food expenditure and consumption, health status, and anthropometry. Topics in the community survey include level of agricultural production, employment, prices, cost of farming, economic activity, law and order, intervention programs, and information about the flood at the thana, union, and village level.

Agnes Quisumbing; Bob Baulch, 2011. focuses on 102 villages characteristic of rural Bangladesh, aims to further our understanding of the economic, social and political processes that shape chronic poverty in Bangladesh together with the impact of selected anti-poverty interventions on poverty dynamics. After initial community level fieldwork approximately 1,907 core households first surveyed in 1994, 1996, or 2000 were interviewed in late 2006 to ascertain how their living standards, endowment and other characteristics have changed over time and what role selected interventions have had on their welfare trajectories. 365 households who had split from their original households were also interviewed Detailed life-histories were then collected from a stratified sub-sample of approximately 293 adult men and women living in 161 households in order to better understand which events, institutions and processes have trapped certain households in chronic poverty while allowing others to escape from it.

ICPSR 7555. This data collection contains information gathered in five annual surveys that assessed the degree of freedom in 218 nations and dependencies from 1972-1976. The number of cases with data varies from year to year, due to annexation, amalgamation, or the addition of further territories to the roster. The data include assessments of the political and civil rights of the general population, an overall freedom rating for the country, and the direction in which this rating appeared to be moving. Surveys after 1972 have added variables that indicate whether a change in the evaluation since the previous survey was due to internal events in the country or to new information about existing conditions. Before 1973, only the presence or absence of change is noted. The 1976 data include four additional variables applicable to 142 cases and provide information about the system of government and the economy of most of the nations studied. The rationale used in assigning the seven categories on the continuum of most to least freedom can be found in Appendix III of the codebook, including which civil and political rights were considered critical in order for a nation to garner each rating.

Food policy research is defined here as any socioeconomic or policy-related research in the food, agriculture, and natural-resource s ectors. In this database, two country-level food policy research capacity indicators are presented. The first indicator is the number of full-time equivalent analysts or researchers with PhDs or their equivalent analysts or researchers with PhDs or their equivalent per one million rural citizens. The second indicator is the number of food policy relevant journal articles published internationally within the last five years per full-time PhD-equivalent researcher. This input-output ratio measure is indicative of the efficiency of the policy research environment.

Kassem, Fatima Sbaity, 2008-2010. The purpose of the study was to explore the impact of political party structure on gender inequality, particularly in parliamentary representation, in the political realm as a whole. The goal of this study was to compile a dataset that looks beyond the national domestic level into the individual party-level explanatory factors for women's political leadership, broadly defined to include their station within parties' decision-making inner structures. The dataset allows researchers to look at the impact of party-level characteristics and the influences they exert on women's chances in assuming leadership positions within political parties' inner structure. A large portion of the study focuses on religiosity and secularism of each political party studied. All relevant parties in the 26 countries, which have at least one seat in parliament, have been covered. Data was collected on 330 political parties and women's membership and leadership within these parties.

The United States Bureau of the Census initiated a series of studies on women in development in 1970 with data drawn primarily from national censuses, surveys, statistical abstracts, and international statistical compendia. The aim of this data series was to provide a reliable, up-to-date, accessible database on women in development which can illuminate the discrepancies in the roles and status of women against those of men throughout the world in order to serve as a basis for the promotion of both intranational and international parity between the sexes. The studies that comprise the Women in Development series consist of national-level data concerning female/male differentials over a range of demographic and socio-economic variables. Wherever possible, the data are broken down by age and urban/rural residence to facilitate further analysis. The series is cumulative and the data are presented in basic tabular format. Initially, the data tables were compiled for 69 developing nations from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Near East that were recipients of the United States Agency for International Development aid. The first collection, Women in Development, 1979-1980 (ICPSR 8053), included all the aid-recipient nations regardless of population size. Subsequently, data were compiled for all remaining nations of the world with a population of five million or more, and statistics for the original nations were updated to reflect more recent information. The second collection in the series, Women in Development IV, 1983 (ICPSR 8155), covered approximately 120 nations from Asia, the Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Near East, North America, Europe, and the Soviet Union.
