Definitions



United Nations and local definitions of SDG indicators can be viewed here.

Target 1.1:

By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $ 1.9 a day

Indicator 1.1.1:

Proportion of population below the international poverty line, by sex, age, employment status and geographic location (Urban/Rural) (Tier 1)

UNSD Definition:

The percentage of the population living on less than $1.90 a day at 2011 international prices. The 'international poverty line' is currently set at $1.90 a day at 2011 international prices. To measure poverty across countries consistently, the World Bank’s international measures apply a common standard, anchored to what “poverty” means in the world’s poorest countries. The original “$1-a-day” line was based on a compilation of national lines for only 22 developing countries, mostly from academic studies in the 1980s (Ravallion, et al., 1991). While this was the best that could be done at the time, the sample was hardly representative of developing countries even in the 1980s. Since then, national poverty lines have been developed for many other countries. Based on a new compilation of national lines for 75 developing countries, Ravallion, Chen and Sangraula (RCS) (2009) proposed a new international poverty line of $1.25 a day. This is the average poverty line for the poorest 15 countries in their data set.The current extreme poverty line is set at $1.90 a day in 2011 PPP terms, which represents the mean of the national poverty lines found in the same poorest 15 countries ranked by per capita consumption. The new poverty line maintains the same standard for extreme poverty - the poverty line typical of the poorest countries in the world - but updates it using the latest information on the cost of living in developing countries.When measuring international poverty of a country, the international poverty line at PPP is converted to local currencies in 2011 price and is then converted to the prices prevailing at the time of the relevant household survey using the best available Consumer Price Index (CPI). (Equivalently, the survey data on household consumption or income for the survey year are expressed in the prices of the CPI base year, and then converted to PPP $’s.) Then the poverty rate is calculated from that survey. All inter-temporal comparisons are real, as assessed using the country-specific CPI. Interpolation/extrapolation methods are used to line up the survey-based estimates with these reference years.

DCS Definition:

Same as UNSD definition.

Target 1.2

By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions

Indicator 1.2.2:

Proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions2 (Tier 2)

UNSD Definition:

Not available.

DCS Definition:

Each person is assigned a deprivation score according to his or her household's deprivations in each of the 10 component indicators. The maximum score is 100 percent, with each dimension equally weighted (thus the maximum score in each dimension is 33.3 (100/3) percent). The education and health dimensions have two indicators each, so each component is worth 33.3/2 (100/6) percent. The standard of living dimension has six indicators, so each component is worth 33.3/6 (100/18percent.
To identify the multidimensional poor, the deprivation scores for each indicator are summed to obtain the household deprivation score, C. A cutoff of 33.3 percent which is equivalent to 1/3 of the weighted indicators is used to distinguish between the poor and non-poor. Multidimensional poor: Deprivation score, C >=33.3 percent Vulnerable to poor: 20<=Deprivation score, C<33.3 percent
Severely multidimensional poor: Deprivation score, C>=50 percent

Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) (Tier 1)

UNSD Definition:

Percentage of individuals in the population who have experienced food insecurity at moderate or severe levels during the reference period. The severity of food insecurity, defined as a latent trait, is measured on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale global reference scale, a measurement standard established by FAO through the application of the Food Insecurity Experience Scale in more than 140 countries worldwide, starting in 2014.

DCS Definition:

DCS calculate a proxy indicator; Household Food Insecurity Access Scale Score (HFIAS).
HFIAS is an internationally recognized method used to estimate the level of food insecurity in households. The score quantitatively measures the experience of the food insecure households for a reference period (4 weeks of time) using eight questions related to the food insecurity condition based on the frequency of occurrence. The frequency of occurrence: rarely (once or twice in the past four weeks), sometime (three to ten times in the past four weeks) and often (more than ten time in the past four weeks). The value of the HFIAS lies between 0 and 24. The maximum score of 24 implies that the level of food insecurity for a household is highest.

Indicator 8.1.1:

Annual growth rate of real GDP per capita (In dollar terms) (Tier 1)

UNSD Definition:

Annual growth rate of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is calculated as the percentage change in the real GDP per capita between two consecutive years. Real GDP per capita is calculated by dividing GDP at constant prices by the population of a country or area. The data for real GDP are measured in constant US dollars to facilitate the calculation of country growth rates and aggregation of the country data
The annual growth rate of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is calculated as follows:
a. Convert annual real GDP in domestic currency at 2005 prices for a country or area to US dollars at 2005 prices using the 2005 exchange rates.
b. Divide the result by the population of the country or area to obtain annual real GDP per capita in constant US dollars at 2005 prices.
c. Calculate the annual growth rate of real GDP per capita in year t+ 1 using the following formula:
[(G(t+1) – G(t))/G(t)] x 100%
where G(t+1) is real GDP per capita in 2005 US dollars in year t+1 and G(t) is real GDP per capita in 2005 US dollars in year t.

DCS Definition:

Annual growth rate of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is calculated as the percentage change in the real GDP per capita between two consecutive years. Real GDP per capita is calculated by dividing GDP at constant prices by the population of a country or area. The data for real GDP are measured in constant US dollars to facilitate the calculation of country growth rates and aggregation of the country data
a. Convert annual real GDP in domestic currency to US dollars at 2010 prices using the 2010 exchange rates. (2010 is the new base-year for National Accounts, Sri Lanka)
b. Divide the result by the mid-year population of the country to obtain annual real GDP per capita in constant US dollars at 2010 prices.
c. Calculate the annual growth rate of real GDP per capita in year t+ 1 using the formula:
[(G(t+1) – G(t))/G(t)] x 100% where G(t+1) is real GDP per capita in 2010 US dollars in year t+1 and G(t) is real GDP per capita in 2010 US dollars in year t.

UNSD Definition:

Annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person conveys the annual percentage change in real Gross Domestic Product per employed person. Real GDP per employed person = GDP at constant prices / Total number of employed persons where the numerator and denominator refer to the same reference period, for example, the same calendar year. If we call the real GDP per employed person “LabProd”, then the annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person is calculated as follows:
Annual growth rate of real GDP per employed person = (LabProd in year n – LabProd in year n-1) / LabProdinyear n-1 *100

Indicator 8.4.1:

Material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP (Tier 3)

UNSD Definition:

Material Footprint (MF) is the attribution of global material extraction to domestic final demand of a country. The total material footprint is the sum of the material footprint for biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores and non-metal ores. It is calculated as raw material equivalent of imports (RMEIM) plus domestic extraction (DE) minus raw material equivalents of exports (RMEEX). For the attribution of the primary material needs of final demand a global, multi-regional input-output (MRIO) framework is employed. The attribution method based on I-O analytical tools is described in detail in Wiedmann et al. 2015.
It is based on the EORA MRIOframework developed by the University of Sydney, Australia (Lenzen et al. 2013) which is an internationally well-established and the most detailed and reliable MRIO framework available to date.
The MF indicator can be disaggregated to four main material categories, a varying number of economicsectors whose expenditure require materials and to three domestic final demand sectors (householdconsumption, government consumption and capital investment) and foreign final demand (i.e. exports).

DCS Definition:

-

Indicator 8.4.2:

Domestic material consumption, domestic material consumption per capita, and domestic material consumption per GDP (Tier 3)

UNSD Definition:

Domestic Material Consumption (DMC) is a standard material flow accounting (MFA) indicator and reports the apparent consumption of materials in a national economy.
It is calculated as direct imports (IM) of material plus domestic extraction (DE) of materials minus direct exports (EX) of materials measured in metric tonnes. DMC measure the amount of materials that are used in economic processes. It does not include materials that are mobilized the process of domestic extraction but do not enter the economic process. DMC is based on official economic statistics and it requires some modelling to adapt the source data to the methodological requirements of the MFA. The accounting standard and accounting methods are set out in the EUROSTAT guidebooks for MFA accounts in the latest edition of 2013. MFA accounting is also part of the central framework of the System of integrated Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA).
The DMC indicator can be disaggregated into imports, domestic extraction and exports by a large number ofmaterial follow categories. At the highest level of aggregation biomass, fossil fuels, metal ores andnon-metallic minerals are distinguished. DMC is usually reported for 11 material categories, DE for 44material categories.

UNSD Definition:

The unemployment rate conveys the percentage of persons in the labour force who are unemployed.
Persons in unemployment are defined as all those of working age (usually persons aged 15 and above) who were not in employment, carried out activities to seek employment during a specified recent period and were currently available to take up employment given a job opportunity, where: (a) “not in employment” is assessed with respect to the short reference period for the measurement of employment; (b) to “seek employment” refers to any activity when carried out, during a specified recent period comprising the last four weeks or one month, for the purpose of finding a job or setting up a business or agricultural undertaking; (c) the point when the enterprise starts to exist should be used to distinguish between search activities aimed at setting up a business and the work activity itself, as evidenced by the enterprise’s registration to operate or by when financial resources become available, the necessary infrastructure or materials are in place or the first client or order is received, depending on the context; (d) “currently available” serves as a test of readiness to start a job in the present, assessed with respect to a short reference period comprising that used to measure employment (depending on national circumstances, the reference period may be extended to include a short subsequent period not exceeding two weeks in total, so as to ensure adequate coverage of unemployment situations among different population groups).

Target 10.1:

By 2030 progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average

Indicator 10.1.1:

Growth rates of household expenditure or income per capita among the bottom 40 per cent of the population and the total population (Tier 1)

UNSD Definition:

The growth rate in the welfare aggregate of bottom 40% is computed as the annualized average growth rate in per capita real consumption or income of the bottom 40% of the income distribution in a country from household surveys over a roughly 5-year period. The national average growth rate in the welfare aggregate is computed as the annualized average growth rate in per capita real consumption or income of the total population in a country from household surveys over a roughly 5-year period.
Growth rates are calculated as annualized average growth rates over a roughly five-year period. Since many countries do not conduct surveys on a precise five-year schedule, the following rules guide selection of the survey years used to calculate the growth rates in the 2015 update: the final year of the growth period (T1) is the most recent year of a survey but no earlier than 2010, and the initial year (T0) is as close to T1 – 5 as possible, within a two-year band. Thus, the gap between initial and final survey years ranges from three to seven years. If two surveys are equidistant from T1 – 5, other things being equal, the more recent survey year is selected as T0. The comparability of welfare aggregates (income or consumption) for the years chosen for T0 and T1 is assessed for every country. If comparability across the two surveys is a major concern, the selection criteria are re-applied to select the next best survey year.
Once two surveys are selected for a country, the annualized growth of mean per capita real income or consumption is computed by first estimating the mean per capita real income or consumption of the bottom 40 percent of the welfare distribution in years T0 and T1 and then computing the annual average growth rate between those years using a compound growth formula, (Mean in T_1)/(Mean in T_0 )?^(1/( T_1- T_0 ))-1.
Growth of mean per capita real income or consumption of the total population is computed in the same way using data for the total population.

Target 11.1:

By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums

Indicator 11.1.1:

Proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing (Tier 1)

UNSD Definition:

This indicator integrates the component of the slums and informal settlements that has been monitored for the last 15 years by UN-Habitat in mostly developing countries with a new component - inadequate housing - that applies largely to the developed countries. By integrating these two components, the indicator is now universal and can be monitored in both developing and developed regions. The inadequate housing component allows capturing housing informality in more developed countries and wealthier urban contexts.
This indicator will focus on documenting the limitations manifested in the right to adequate housing as measured through the proportion of the population that live in slums or informal settlements or who have inadequate housing.
The below definitions and concepts are important for reporting on this indicator;
Proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing is currently being measured by the Proportion of urban population living in slums.
