Data gaps and older people

Data management is key in NESTORE, as well as in many projects where artificial intelligence is at stake. Hereby, NESTORE shares the report of the  United Nations' Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons.

This work examines the significance of data for the realization of the human rights of older persons, as a prerequisite for evidence-based and informed decision-making and normative action.

In the document, the Independent Expert analyses the current data gap on older persons, its causes, and its impact on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons, as well as the prospects and risks associated with the data revolution in this context.

The report also contains an overview of the activities of the Independent Expert and her predecessor during the reporting period.
