This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Turkey statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Turkey statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Turkey-specific metadata information.

Persons are only counted once even if they are present in several sub-indicators. At risk-of-poverty are persons with 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).Severe material and social deprivation rate: The previous definition of material deprivation was revised by Eurostat by adding social deprivation criteria in the definition.
The household level variables were used for calculation of material and social deprivation rate were car inability to pay unexpected financial expenses, one week's annual holiday away from home, mortgage or rent payments, a meal with meat, chicken, fish every second day, heating home adequately warm, replacing worn furniture and the ownership of a car.. The newly added individual level variables were inability to replace worn-out clothes by some new ones, to have two pairs of properly fitting shoes, to get together with family/friends at least once a month, to participate in a leisure activity (that cost money) outside home, to spend a small amount of money each week on yourself and to have the internet connection for personal use at home. The severe material and social deprivation rate is defined as the rate of individuals faced with the enforced inability to afford at least seven of the above-mentioned thirteen items. People living in households with very low work intensity are those aged 0-59 living in households where the adults (aged 18-64) work 20% or less of their total work potential during the past year. The AROPE rate, the share of the total population which is at risk of poverty or social exclusion, is the headline indicator to monitor the European Union 2020 Strategy poverty target. |

Income and Living Conditions Survey
| 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. |
