This background note focuses on inequalities associated with old age, disability and mental health. It argues that these should be considered salient sources of group-based difference due to the numbers of people affected, their marginalization, their vulnerability and their relative neglect in international agreements. It examines the available data on this topic, assesses the limitations to better data collection and efforts to adjust key international survey instruments.
