Target name By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day
Indicator name a) Poverty headcount ratio at 2.15 $ a day (2017 PPP) (% of population)
Global / Proxy indicator Global indicator
Description of indicator According to World Bank methodology, this indicator is defined as the percentage of the population living on less than $2.15 a day at 2017 international prices. The 'international poverty line' is currently set at $2.15 a day at 2017 international prices.
Unit (%)
Available disaggregation -
Calculation Poverty headcount ratio at 2.15 $ a day (2017 PPP) (% of population) = (The number of people whose total expenditure is below the poverty line of $2.15 in terms of purchasing power parity / Total population) * 100
Comparability Comparable over time. Produced in full compliance with global metadata.

Other information 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. When measuring international poverty of a country, the international poverty line at PPP is converted to local currencies in 2017 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). 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.

The last change was in September 2022, when the World Bank adopted $2.15 as the international poverty line using the 2017 PPP. Prior to that, WB set the international poverty line at $1.90 using the 2011 PPP in 2015.

Indicator name b) In-work at-risk-of-poverty rate
Global / Proxy indicator Proxy indicator
Description of indicator This indicator is defined as the % of persons (18-64) who are at work and have an equivalised disposable income below the risk-of-poverty threshold, which is set at 60 % of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers). It is calculated as the ratio of working and also poor people to working people. The indicator is based on the EU-SILC (statistics on income, social inclusion and living conditions).
Unit (%)
Available disaggregation Sex, Age group
Calculation In-work at-risk-of-poverty rate = (Working poor individuals / Working individuals) * 100
Comparability Comparable over time. Since it is a proxy indicator, it differs from global metadata in some way.

Data source Eurostat (TurkStat, Income and Living Conditions Survey)
Data source link https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/sdg_01_41/default/table?lang=en
Sample coverage The sampling frame is based on Address Based Population Register System and National Address Database which was established in 2007. From this linked system, clusters (blocks) involving approximately 100 dwelling addresses (between 80 and 120) are constructed and this blocked list is defined as the sampling frame of EU SILC survey. The register system is updated twice in the year. Addresses of the institutional population are not included in the sampling frame.
Sample size In the 2019 Income and Living Conditions Survey, a total of 26 732 households were visited. Of these households; A survey was conducted with 24 924 of them, and the remaining 1 808 households could not be surveyed for various reasons.

In the 2020 Income and Living Conditions Survey, a total of 27 437 households were visited. Of these households; A survey was conducted with 25 706 of them, and the remaining 1 731 households could not be surveyed for various reasons.

Interview method Computer asisted personal interview (CAPI) method is applied in 2019.
Telephone asisted personal interview (CATI) method is applied in 2020.
Computer asisted personal interview (CAPI) method is applied in 2021.
Reference period for application of survey The reference period for income information is "the previous calendar year". So, the income information in the 2019 application is for 2018. Employment information was inquired by taking into account the interview date and last week (refers the week before the interview date), Living conditions indicators were questioned for current status at the time of interview.
Field survey time and durationMarch - July period of the related year.
