Demographic and Health Surveys (Standard DHS, Individual Recode) // dhs

DHS Standard Surveys — Individual Recode (IR) file. ~90 low- and middle-income countries surveyed every ~5 years; the canonical dataset for fertility, child mortality, maternal health, contraception, gender, HIV and immunization research. Variables are harmonised across countries and waves so cross-country pooling is straightforward.
