Fertility across time and space
This contribution provides a brief structured overview of selected open-access databases and data websites developed by the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, in some cases in cooperation with partner institutions or based on the data supplied by partner institutions. The presented databases primarily focus on fertility data or have a broader focus, but provide detailed coverage of fertility data. These databases also showcase the breadth and scope of fertility related research at the Wittgenstein Centre, as they range from detailed data that focus on one country and even one city (Birth Barometer for Austria and Vienna), to data that provide comprehensive coverage of one continent (European Demographic Data Sheet), to databases that offer global coverage (Human Fertility Collection, Wittgenstein Centre Human Capital Data Explorer). These databases also cover very different time periods, with the oldest data in the Human Fertility Collection pertaining to 1751, and the Wittgenstein Centre Data Explorer featuring projections up to 2100.
