One of our researchers is looking for micro-level datasets that he can
use for teaching on MA/Mphil/Dhil courses here at the Institute of
Development Studies. This would be household level data in machine
readable form (Excel, SPSS, Lotus, etc), relating to a 'developing'
country situation.

He knows of one set: "Maryland Demography and Health Statistics"
produced by the Office of Population Issues. Does anyone konw where we
can get these?

Another possibility occurs to me as data from the World Bank's series of
Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS). Are these available.

But I'm sure there must be many more! Can anyone recommend some?
