About Global Data Lab
The Global Data Lab (GDL) is an independent data and research center at Nijmegen School of Management of Radboud University. Building upon over 500 household survey datasets from the major data providers for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), GDL has built one of the largest existing databases for LMICs, containing information on over 35 million individuals in 130+ countries. In addition to socio-economic data, GDL incorporates climate related and GIS data at the sub-national level allowing for research in the areas of climate adaptation and climate shocks.
