TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Difficulties in Registers of Older q Registers of aged 100 and. Persons over population in MERNIS database . Checking registers with other registers (controlling ‘sign of life’) by the Ministry of Interior every year. Getting information from district directorates/village headmen/families q Unreported deaths in small areas. Especially older women living alone and not having any property q Unstandardized alumni records of schools/universities. Last completed school registers of older persons (not available/in paper format). Mismathched records because of maiden name of older women. Certificates of the training programs of learning read and write for older persons included to the database Demographic Statistics Department Vital Statistics Group 46

TURKISH STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Improving Registers ADVANTAGES: . Produce statistics for all ages. Produce continuous information. Get annual statistics. Lower cost. Link among registers with the ID number. Obtain data on basic demographic and socio -economic characteristics of population DISADVANTAGES: . Not under control of NSO. Needs good coordination. Intention of institution/organization to compile data for statistical purposes. Surveys required to obtain information on expectations of older people, their satisfactions with services etc. Demographic Statistics Department Vital Statistics Group 47
