Climate change and its impacts on elderly road users in Malta : a call for new policies?
Malta has a high elderly population. This increased
rapidly throughout the years and is projected to
further accelerate in the future. In 2011, the elderly
population in Malta (60+) was of 98,786, representing
24% of the entire population. The number of elderly
females exceeded that of the males (Figure 1).
However, the increase between 2005 and 2011 was
higher for males: +31%. This is an indication that due to several health
improvements, life expectancy of elderly in Malta is
increasing. Indeed, the Maltese elderly population is
healthier than the EU-27 average. In 2010, the
healthy life year indicator showed that on average,
men and women in Malta at the age of 65 are
expected to live a further 12 and 11.9 years
respectively in a healthy condition (PwC, 2012).peer-reviewe
Minding the Gap: An Assessment of Racial Disparity in Metropolitan Chicago
In cooperation with the Human Relations Foundation of Chicago (HRF), CURL and the Jane Addams Hull House examined inequalities among racial and ethnic groups in Chicago. Drawing from a broad range of existing data sources, researchers documented areas of reduced inequality as well as other areas of persistent inequality.
Minding the Gap: An Assessment of Racial Disparity in Metropolitan Chicago examines seven quality of life measurements: income, wealth and employment, education, housing, transportation, health, the lives of children and the criminal justice system. This report, by examining these seven systems, not just one, creates a unique context for understanding both the complexity of these individual systems and the relationships between these systems.
The goal of this effort is not only to educate the public about these gaps, but also to serve as a catalyst for public and social policy discussion throughout the region by initiating a community engagement process. The report was featured in a Sun-Times Editorial
