About this ebook
In 2015, the world reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development by endorsing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SDGs (2030 Agenda). To reach older people – an important, heterogeneous and growing population – and to create visibility in global and national policy and accountability mechanisms, a closer examination is needed of the kinds of data collection mechanisms and methods, and types of data collected to measure each SDG indicator relevant for older persons, including existing levels of disaggregation, analysis and dissemination.
This WHO report is co-sponsored by the United Kingdom Office of National Statistics and the Ghana Statistical Service and reflects one of the major outputs for the Titchfield City Group on Ageing and Age-disaggregated Data Conceptual and Analytical Working Group. The report provides concrete examples of indicators and learnings from 20 National Statistics Offices (NSOs) on SDG indicators relevant for older people that are already being collected. Shared experiences from NSOs around the world demonstrate that disaggregation of data is possible, and that this information is useful to indicate the diverse experiences of older persons.
