When it comes to forced displacement, there is more to the data - there is the microdata
There are now over 114 million people who have been forcibly displaced by conflict, violence, or volatility in the world. However, this figure does not wholly depict the difficulty of their human experience—behind each number there is a mother, father, son, or daughter, whose life has been disrupted or destroyed.
Data - articularly microdata, such as household surveys - can help by painting a picture of the life of everyone in detail, but also about the challenges they face: food security, shelter, access to water, health care, education, and livelihoods.
The World Bank-UNHCR Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement has undertaken a review of all publicly available household survey datasets from the two largest databases of microdata (the World Bank and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees microdata libraries) from 1995 to 2022.
The result is Forced Displacement Microdata, a dashboard where users can view the data overall, as well as access individual datasets.
