Iran's AgeWatch Index Under Scrutiny

With a value score of 43.1, Iran is ranked 64th among 97 countries on the AgeWatch Index measured by Saba Pension Strategies Institute, an affiliate of the Civil Servants Pension Organization. 
The report is fashioned after the 2015 Global AgeWatch Index that assesses factors determining the social and economic wellbeing of older people. 
Global AgeWatch Index was launched in 2013 and published annually until 2015. It has been a popular and effective advocacy tool, highlighting key data gaps on aging and older people at the global level.
The index measures four key domains for older people, covering the most crucial aspects of their wellbeing, experience and opportunities. These are income security, health status, capability and the enabling environment, which factors are necessary for older people to be able to function independently.
