SDG # 1 - End poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere
The following are the indicators used to measure progress towards achieving this goal:
1.1 Proportion of the population living below the national poverty line
The percentage of the population living below a specific poverty line, determined by the country, is calculated and used as a measure of poverty levels.
1.2 Poverty gap ratio
The poverty gap ratio is calculated as the mean distance below the poverty line as a percentage of the poverty line. It indicates the extent to which the average poor person falls below the poverty line.
1.3 Share of poorest quintile in national consumption
The share of the poorest 20% of the population in the total consumption of the country is calculated to measure progress in reducing poverty among the poorest segments of society.
1.4 Gini index
The Gini index measures income inequality within a country by calculating the ratio of the area between the Lorenz curve and the line of equality to the total area under the line of equality. A lower Gini index indicates greater income equality.
1.5 Multidimensional poverty index (MPI)
The MPI takes into account multiple dimensions of poverty, including health, education, and living standards. It provides a composite measure of poverty that reflects the multiple dimensions of poverty experienced by individuals.
