Global AgeWatch Index

Global AgeWatch Index is a tool to measure progress in the development of ageing friendly countries and aims to improve the impact of policy and practice on ageing populations' quality of life. Thirteen different indicators were selected for the four key domains of Income security, Health status, Capability, and Enabling environment.

The Global AgeWatch Index rankings for 2015 has been released. Canada ranks 5th overall in the Index and is in the top 10 in all four domains.
