| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | Poverty has traditionally been defined as the lack of money. However, the poor themselves consider their experience of poverty much more broadly. A person who is poor can suffer multiple disadvantages at the same time – for example, they may have poor health or malnutrition, a lack of clean water or electricity, poor quality of work or little schooling. Focusing on one factor alone, such as income, is not enough to capture the true reality of poverty. Therefore, multidimensional poverty measures described above have been developed to create a more comprehensive picture by looking at multiple dimensions such as health, education, living standards. Official multidimensional poverty headcount (% population), official multidimensional poverty headcount (% of total households) and multidimensional deprivation for children (% of population under 18) are all about the headcount ratio trying to capture how many people, households, or children in the entire pool are regarded as multidimensionally poor. On the other hand, average share of weighted deprivation tries to capture the depth of multidimensional poverty. For instance, if there are 18 indicators to capture different dimensions of poverty, the person who is deprived in 5 indicators, and the person who is deprived in 15 indicators are considered to be both multidimensionally poor. However, the 'intensity' of the poverty is different between these two people, which is captured by the average share of weighted deprivation. |
| Target value of the indicator and its evaluation | 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. |
| Definition | The following five series are used to monitor SDG indicator 1.2.2. 1) Official multidimensional poverty headcount, by sex, and age (% of population) – The percentage of people who are multidimensionally poor 2) Average share of weighted deprivations (intensity) for total population – The average share of weighted dimensions in which poor people are deprived among total population 3) Official multidimensional poverty headcount (% of total households) – The percentage of households who are multidimensionally poor 4) Average share of weighted deprivations (intensity) for total households – The average share of weighted dimensions in which poor people are deprived among total households 5) Multidimensional deprivation for children (% of population under 18) – The percentage of children who are simultaneously deprived in multiple dimensions of well-being |
