The CBS Microdata databases contain microdata from the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS) in the Netherlands. This microdata is gathered by the CBS and used to report on trends in Dutch society on items like consumer expenditure, GDP, etc. to the government. Aggregated statistical data based on the microdata is available through the free access database CBS StatLine.
Researchers at FEWEB have the option to "remotely access" CBS Microdata on a computer in the VU library. This computer is located in the Data Center to offer easier access. Some important conditions are attached to using the CBS Microdata:
- You must contact the Central Bureau for Statistics to arrange access to the data through the remote connection. More information is available at the website of the CBS.
- Once your request to access the microdata has been approved by the CBS, you can make an appointment to use the computer at the Data Center. You can do so by sending an email to: datacentrum@ubvu.vu.nl
