Computation description: | Number of persons aged 0-64 years in potential population who need more formal assistance than they are currently receiving divided by number of persons aged 0-64 years in potential population. |
Computation: | R/N x 100 where R = number of people in potential population who need more formal assistance than they are currently receiving and N = estimated potential population. Computation will be appropriate to the target population and corresponding available data, including jurisdiction demand data and SDAC enhancements. Multiple measures for this indicator give person and system level perspectives on unmet demand. Need for formal assistance as a proportion of inferred demand—computation is based on the argument that every statement of need is explicitly, or implicitly, a claim (see Spicker 2008). This measure is based on sample survey estimates. |
Numerator: | Number of persons aged 0–64 years in potential population who need more formal assistance than they are currently receiving.

Benchmark: | Related NDA benchmark - Performance benchmark (b) A decrease in the proportion of potential population with unmet demand for services. |
Further data development / collection required: | Indicators is sourced from the SDAC. The 2009 SDAC contains new questions on the need for more formal assistance. While information about need for more assistance is available from SDAC 2003, it is not possible to distinguish need for more formal assistance. |
Other issues caveats: | Available disaggregation depends on sampling errors and other caveats. |
