SwedPop is a national research infrastructure established in 2018 with support from the Swedish research council. It contains micro-level demographic data of the Swedish population, including linked life-courses for individuals between the 17th and the 20th centuries in selected regions and full-count national censuses. SwedPop provides accessible harmonised data, standardized variables and a common data format for a large number of demographic and socio-economic variables.
