Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Informal carers
Informal carers are a major – and often the only – source of care for people with LTC needs across OECD countries. Among analysed 19 OECD countries, about 60% of older people reported receiving only informal care (Rocard and Llena-Nozal, 2022[1]). Informal care is provided by family members, friends and people in social networks to individuals who need support with everyday tasks. Due to the informal nature of care, comparable data are difficult to obtain. The data discussed in this section stem from international and national surveys. There are differences in the definition of informal care across these surveys, which affects the comparability of the data (see the “Definition and comparability” box).
