Harmonized data from the censuses (1989, 2000, and 2011) can be used in basic and applied research on a wide range of topics. The database covers, for example, the following topics:

  • household and family structures of the population (independence of young people, transformation of family models, different generations);
  • spatial location;
  • internal migration;
  • profiles and integration of migrants (by origin, migratory generation, and life expectancy, etc.);
  • linguistic demography (stability and exchange of the mother tongue, acquisition of the Estonian language, knowledge of foreign languages);
  • housing conditions and their changes.

By combining information on population events in the post-census years with census databases, it is also possible to create integrated databases for the personal analysis of population processes.

Users (researchers, public, and private users) can subscribe to a database based on readily available elements that are necessary to carry out the analytical task provided by the user and receive competent advice.

Infotechnological Mobility Observatory

The research was conducted using the research infrastructure “Infotechnological Mobility Observatory” funded by the Estonian Research Council (TARISTU24-TK18)

Beneficiary: University of Tartu

Partners: Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn University, Statistics Estonia

Period: 2014 - 2029

Brief description: Growing spatial mobility is one of the important changes in modern society, which is related to the topics of external and internal migration, urbanization, entrepreneurship, inequality and regional development. Up-to-date and high-quality data are needed to study spatial mobility. The goal of IMO is to develop an innovative data infrastructure supporting mobility research, integrating geographically and longitudinally diverse national statistics and innovative IT data sources.
