Overview over data-bases
Below are many databases where it is possible to get supplementary and updated information. This includes data, but also references to new analysis, literature etc.
Those included below are mainly those where there is comparative data available. In most countries national statistics is available from government, statistical offices, interest groups and organisations etc. Those have to be found in the national country. In some countries there are also social policy organizations with a web-site and information that can be useful. Cf., for example, for the UK¸ http://www.social-policy.org.uk/
