Existence of development plans that include demographic projections in their formulation.
Definition:
Presence of development plans, at both the national and subnational levels, in which demographic estimates and projections are integrated from the moment they are formulated.
Notes:
This indicator takes a component of SDG 11.a.1 in relation to the integration of demographic projections into development plans: “Proportion of the population living in cities that implement urban and regional development plans integrating population projections and resource needs, by size of city,” which seeks to reflects the inclusion of the population in development planning.

Priority Measures
A.4 - Population and development
4
Ensure full integration of population dynamics into sustainable development planning, sectoral policies and public policies and programmes in general ―in particular in development and land-use planning― at national and subnational levels, drawing on sociodemographic knowledge and information and harnessing technological advances.
C.19 - Age structure in policies and programs
19
Design and implement public policies, plans and programmes —at all political and administrative levels— that take into account changes in the age structure, in particular population ageing, and the opportunities and challenges associated with these changes over the medium and long term.
H.85 - Indigenous peoples rights
85
Respect and implement the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, as well as Convention No. 169 of the International Labour Organization on indigenous and tribal peoples —and call on those countries that have not already done so to sign it and ratify it— adapting legal frameworks and formulating the policies necessary for their implementation, with the full participation of these peoples, including indigenous peoples that live in cities.
H.86 - Indigenous peoples and demographic dynamics.
86
Consider the special demographic dynamic of indigenous peoples in public policy design, with special emphasis on indigenous peoples threatened with extinction, those who have no contact with the outside world, those living in voluntary isolation or that are in a phase of initial contact, and respect their right to self-determination.
