ABOUT US

The Gateway to Global Aging Data is a data and information platform developed to facilitate longitudinal and cross-country analyses on aging, especially those using the family of Health and Retirement Studies (HRS) around the world. The Gateway indexes and extensively documents study designs and survey questionnaires. So far, the Gateway has catalogued surveys from 18 studies in 45 countries from 1992 to 2020. Additionally, for many of these surveys, the Gateway also creates and releases Harmonized datafiles which are comprised of variables representing a subset of the original survey data and have been defined to be as comparable as possible across different studies. The Gateway is funded by the National Institute on Aging and all data and documentation are available to researchers without cost.
