Social Policy and Law Shared Database (SPLASH)

SPLASH offers access to contextual data through the development of two substantive sections: Data and Policy.

The Data section gives access to contextual quantitative indicators based on official statistics and research outcomes. In the Policy section users will gain access to standardised information about policy changes and their legal supporting documents over time; the records have been compiled from the Population and Policy Database (PPD) and the Population Europe Resource Finder and Archive (PERFAR), which was last updated in 2016. In addition, SPLASH will provide access to quantitative and qualitative external sources complementing the contents offered by the two sections.
