This first Positive Ageing National Indicator report presents findings from a wide range of existing resources on what matters for older people. It sets out the evidence under the three pillars identified in the National Positive Ageing Strategy i.e. Participation, Health and Security as well as the cross-cutting objectives of combating ageism and increasing access to information. As the report provides evidence on Positive Ageing in Ireland,  it offers us a benchmark for the future which will allow us to measure the progress we have made and the challenges that lie ahead.
