Description

The Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society (REMESO) possesses a longitudinal database that integrates different annual registers since 1990 to 2015 from Statistics Sweden (SCB).
Specifically, the REMESO database consists of five parts:
1. The first part of the REMESO database is based on the population registers from SCB. It includes information about the year of birth, country of birth, immigration and citizenship status of all individuals who were registered in Sweden as of 31 December for each year. From this part of the dataset, information on households may also be constructed. This part of the dataset provides also information about the municipality of residence, including georeferenced information about the neighbourhood (SAMS: “Small Areas for. Market Statistics”), and individual geographical coordinates (within 100×100 meter cells).
2. The second part of the REMESO database is based on the LISA registers (Longitudinal Integration Database for Health Insurance and Labour Force Studies) from SCB. It includes demographic and socioeconomic information (including employment status, income sources including all welfare transfers, employment status, profession and sector of employment) for all individuals aged 16 and older who were registered in Sweden as of 31 December for each year.
3. The third part of the REMESO database is based on the firm register from SCB. It contains detailed information on full accounting data for all Swedish firms (e.g., value added and capital stock), including firms’ foundation year, number of employees (divided by educational level), as well as industry affiliation.
4. The fourth part of the REMESO database is based on the Swedish school grade registries from SCB. It contains information about the school of enrolment for each pupil of Swedish primary and high schools, including school grades for maths, Swedish (with a separate variable for Swedish as a second language), and the so-called meritvärde (i.e. the sum of the student’s 16 best school grades, out of around 20, in the 9th grade).
5. The fifth part of the REMESO database is based on the on the dwelling stock statistics are based on the national Dwelling Register. This last part of the database contains information about the type of building, period of construction, type of ownership, tenure, size, geographical coordinates (including neighbourhood).
