Data Access
Microdata that would otherwise be incomparable, or impossible to access, are made available to researchers through three pathways:
LISSY
LISSY is a remote-execution system, specifically designed for LIS, that allows researchers to remotely submit statistical programs on LIS/LWS data. Due to confidentiality and security restrictions on microdata, LISSY is available to registered researchers only and exclusively for non-commercial purposes
Web Tabulator (WebTab)
The WebTab is an online table maker – available to the general public – that allows researchers to design and generate cross-national descriptive tables based on the underlying LIS datasets without the need for programming. All WebTab outcomes can be visualised or exported in ASCII/plain text or Excel
LIS Key Figures
These Key Figures cosnsist of a set of national indicators on Inequality and Poverty based on LIS data for specific population groups. They are available for unrestricted public access on the LIS website via download and/or through a search engine.
