| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) |
The ability to participate in society, to have a say in the shaping of policies and to dissent without fear are essential freedoms. Political voice also provides a corrective to public policy: it can ensure the accountability of officials and public institutions, reveal what people need and value, and call attention to significant deprivations. Political voice also reduces the potential for conflicts and enhances the prospect of building consensus on key issues, with payoffs for economic efficiency, social equity, and inclusiveness in public life. |

Data for indicator 16.7.2 are not available according to the relevant UN methodology. Therefore, a proxy indicator has been proposed that can be used as a kind of substitute for reporting on indicator 16.7.2.
N = number of respondents
The proportion of men and women in each survey is 50:50.
For data disaggregated by sex, the result is statistically significant (p> 0.05) in 2007/06, 2007/12 and 2008/06.
For data disaggregated by age, the result is not statistically significant (p> 0.05) in 2009/12, 2011/01, 2011/06, 2014/01 and 2017/01.
