积极老龄化指数是一种综合衡量标准，纳入了积极老龄化问题的多面性，说明老年人的贡献和潜力，是欧洲经委会在过去五年里与欧洲联盟委员会一道制订的。该指数由以下 4 个领域下的 22 项指标组成：就业；参与社会；独立、健康和有保障的生活；促进积极老龄化的能力和有利环境。该指数提供了一个灵活框架，以说明目前在积极老龄化方面取得的成果，并重点阐述可取得成果的领域。该指数允许监测随着时间推移取得的进展，并有助于查明成功的政策措施。
The Active Ageing Index, a composite measure that integrates the multifaceted nature of active ageing and indicates the contribution and potential of older people, has been developed by ECE together with the European Commission over the past five years. The index consists of 22 indicators grouped under 4 domains: employment; participation in society; independent, healthy and secure living; and capacity and enabling environment for active ageing. It offers a flexible framework within which to depict the current active ageing outcomes and highlights areas in which gains can be made. The index allows the monitoring of progress over time and helps to identify suc cessful policy measures.
