Disaggregates another metric in terms of active use. For example, Client Individuals (PI4060) disaggregated by this metric, option "active," would yield Active Users in many contexts. See usage guidance for further information.
Select one:
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used, including source of disaggregation and any other disaggregations applied.
This disaggregation, applied to another metric, is intended to capture the share of that metric which is considered in or participating in active use.
For example, for financial institutions (including microfinance institutions), the disaggregation "active" applied to Client Individuals (PI4060) would include the number of individuals who currently have outstanding loan balances with the organization. For those financial institutions offering deposit products, the disaggregation "active" applied to Client Individuals (PI4060) would include the number of individuals who have active deposit accounts with the organization. For those financial institutions offering insurance products, the disaggregation "active" applied to Client Individuals (PI4060) would include those with active insurance policies. Wherever possible, organizations are encouraged to report and disaggregate the number of individuals, rather than the number of active groups or the number of active policies/accounts.
The definition of active may vary by offering. For example, for traditional financial services, “active” may include all individuals who have accounts registered in their names for at least six months and who have used their accounts to make transactions within the prior six months. For digital financial services, “active” may include individuals who have had accounts registered in their names for at least three months and who have used their accounts to make transactions within the prior three months.
