The present report was submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to resolution 42/12 on the human rights of older persons. In the report, the Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons 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 particular, 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.
