Welfare and health indicators
Welfare and health indicators support local actors in planning
and assessing welfare policy. Help is also provided in interpreting
the indicators, which were developed within a welfare report
project implemented by STAKES and three pilot municipalities.
The project aimed at producing a model welfare report and
welfare indicators for local politicians and decision makers. It
produced an extensive list of municipal welfare indicators that
were based on national datasets, municipal data collection
processes and separate research datasets. By the request of the
pilot municipalities, a limited number of these indicators were
selected that could be derived from the national data sources in a
comparative manner.
Drawing on the life-course approach and the work done by the
municipalities and experts, key indicators were developed on
children and young people, working-age people and older people, as
well a number of general indicators. The indicators that were
considered to be of key importance for assessing welfare were
selected from each group. |
