To support research and policymaking, there is an
increasing demand for microdata. Microdata are data
that hold information collected on individual units,
such as people, households or enterprises. For statistical
producers, microdata dissemination increases returns
on data collection and helps improve data quality and
credibility. But statistical producers are also faced with
the challenge of ensuring respondents´ confidentiality
while making microdata files more accessible. Not only
are data producers obligated to protect confidentiality,
but security is also crucial for maintaining the trust of
respondents and ensuring the honesty and validity of
their responses.
Proper and secure microdata dissemination requires
statistical agencies to establish policies and procedures
that formally define the conditions for accessing
microdata (Dupriez and Boyko, 2010), and to apply
statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods to data
before release. This guide, Introduction to Statistical
Disclosure Control (SDC), discusses common SDC
methods for microdata obtained from sample surveys,
censuses and administrative sources.
