RIS Commitment 4: Adjustment of social protection systems in response to demographic changes and their social and economic consequences
Legal basis for social protection of population in Armenia is the legislation, which is
constantly reviewed and improved.
(...) As a measure contributing to independent living of older persons provision of dwelling
should be mentioned. With the purpose of partially solving this issue the RA Government
with its protocol decree N 25, dated July 1, 2010 approved the Concept Paper on Creating a
Complex of Social Dwellings for Homeless Lonely Older Persons and Persons Belonging to
Other Social Groups who Require Dwelling.
Projects on creation of social dwellings in Armenia have been implemented since 2008.

Methodology and Tools for Supporting the
Formulation of Evidence-based Policies in
Response to the Challenge of Population Ageing
in Malawi
By
Jesman Chintsanya, PhD
Department of Population Studies, Chancellor
College, University of Malawi
19-21 July 2016, Lilongwe, Malawi
Outline
• Introduction
• Background
• Methodology
• Findings
• Conclusion
• Recommendations
Introduction
• Projected population 16.8 million (NSO, 2010)
• TFR 5.0 children per woman (MDG Endline Survey, 2014)
• Rapid population growth (2.8%) per annum (NS0, 2010)
• HIV prevalence has remained stable, 10% (NSO, 2011)
• Improvements in ART
• Improvements in life expectancy
• Proportion of persons aged 60+ will increase from 4.9%
(2015) to 7.6% (2050), (United Nations, 2015).
• In absolute terms this equates to 0.85 million to 3.3 million
persons
Need for Data and Statistics on Order Persons
• The increase in proportion of older persons has both
opportunities and challenges
• Older people have the knowledge and skills which they can
use to help families or communities deal with different
challenges
• Population of older persons steadily increases in the country,
the social, economic and cultural challenges associated with
ageing populations are likely to multiply
• Hence, UNDESA and Ministry of Gender, Children and Social
Welfare (Department of Disability and Elderly Affairs),
commissioned a study to investigate available data and
statistics on older persons that can inform socio-economic
planning.
Study Objectives
• To assess the status of empirical data on older persons for
supporting the formulation of evidence-based policies in
response to the challenge of population ageing in Malawi
• Present evidence of available data on older persons,
• Identify existing gaps and,
• Make recommendations on improving the data situation.
Study Methods
Document review
• The Constitution of the Republic of Malawi,
• National Pensions Act,
• National Policy for Older Persons (draft),
• National Social Support Policy, and Malawi Growth and Development Strategy
(MGDS) II.
• The National Statistical Act
• National Commission on Science and Technology (NCST) research and ethics
guidelines
Database search
• Search from different producers, however, NSO was the main source
• collection instruments were closely studied to obtain an idea of the type of
data collected by the data producers in the country
Electronic/internet literature search
• A search engine of Google was conducted to identify publications on older
persons which could not be sourced using the above two study methods.
(...) Housing Conditions
The censuses, and all major surveys (MDHS, IHS,
WMS) collect information on housing and
household characteristics
Question asked include: type of household; type of
dwelling structure; and tenure of the dwelling
structure
The 2014 WMS asked information on the
occupancy tenure to the arrangements under
which the household resides in a dwelling.
