We present here some recommendations aimed at improving the availability and quality of statistical indicators in the areas of active and healthy ageing, welfare technology, and age-friendly cities and communities:
To establish a working group formed by municipalities and regions to steer a Nordic effort to develop a coordinated system of indicators.
To develop a new system of indicators, for instance using the indicators listed in Table 5 of this report, and to use the existing knowledge produced as a guiding principle.
To include other demographic characteristics such as socioeconomic status or ethnic origin in the indicators in order to obtain a better picture of these subgroups of older populations.
To include subjective indicators in the area of active and healthy ageing.
