1.4 Growth rate of GDP per person employed
 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per person employed.
 Represents labour productivity. i.e. the amount of
output (GDP) per unit of input (person employed).
Computed as a ratio:

The numerator is the GDP,

The denominator is the number of persons employed.
Target 1B: Achieve full and productive employment and
decent work for all, including women and young people
1.5 Employment-to-population ratio
 Proportion of a country’s working-age population that is
employed.
Generally, computed as a ratio:

The numerator is the number of persons employed,

The denominator is the population.
Target 1B: Achieve full and productive employment and
decent work for all, including women and young people
1.6 Proportion of employed people living below $1 (PPP)
per day
Gives a picture of the relationship between poverty and
employment.
Generally, computed as a ratio:

The numerator is the number of employed people living
below $1 (PPP) per day,

The denominator is the number of employed people.
Target 1B: Achieve full and productive employment and
decent work for all, including women and young people
1.7 Proportion of own-account and contributing family workers in total
employment
 Provides a measure of the share of vulnerable employment.
 Generally, computed as a ratio:


The numerator is the sum of
-
number of own-account workers (self-employed workers without
employees),
-
number of contributing family workers (who hold self-employment
jobs in a market-oriented establishment operated by a related
person living in the same household).
The denominator is the number of employed people.
 Self-employment jobs are jobs where the remuneration is directly
dependent upon the profits derived from the goods and services produced.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
International agency compiling the data:
International Labour Organization (ILO)
National sources:
Labour force surveys, other surveys,
censuses, official estimates
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.4 Adolescent birth rate
(aka age-specific fertility rate 15-19)
 Measures the annual number of births to women 15 to 19 years of
age per 1000 women in that age group.
 It represents the risk of childbearing among adolescent women 15
to 19 years of age.
 Generally computed as a ratio, with:

The numerator is the number of live-births born to women 15 to 19
years of age,

The denominator is an estimate of exposure to childbearing by
women 15-19 years of age.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.4 Adolescent birth rate
International agency compiling the data:
UN Population Division
If civil registration covers 90
per cent or more of all live
births
National sources:
Civil registration and Surveys
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.4 Adolescent birth rate
National sources:
Civil registration and Surveys
 The numerator is the registered
number of live-births born to women
15 to 19 years of age during a given
year,
 The denominator is the estimated
or enumerated population of women
15 to 19 (estimate for the mid-point of
the same year; census returns of the
year to which the births referred are
used; if neither of these are available,
an estimate for some other point of
time in the year is used)
 Computed based on retrospective
birth histories.
 Both the numerator and
denominator come from the same
population
 The numerator refers to births to
women that were 15 to 19 years of
age at the time of the birth during a
reference period before the interview,
 The denominator to person-years
lived between the ages of 15 and 19
by the interviewed women during the
same reference period.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.5 Antenatal care coverage (at least one visit
and at least four visits)
 Percentage of women who used antenatal care provided by skilled
health personnel for reasons related to pregnancy at least once (and
at least four times) during pregnancy, as a percentage of live births in
a given time period.
 Attendance of antenatal care at least once or four times during
pregnancy does not guarantee the receipt of interventions that are
effective in improving maternal health. Attendance at least four times
increases the likelihood of receiving effective maternal health
interventions during antenatal visits.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.5 Antenatal care coverage (at least one
visit and at least four visits)
 Generally computed as a ratio:

The numerator is the number of women who used antenatal
care provided by skilled health personnel for reasons
related to pregnancy at least once/four times,

The denominator is total number of live births in a given
time period.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.5 Antenatal care coverage (at least one visit and at least
four visits)
International agencies compiling the data:
UNICEF and WHO
Main data sources:
Special surveys, including DHS, MICS, Fertility and family
surveys, Reproductive heath surveys, among others
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
5.6 Unmet need for family planning
 Proportion of fecund and sexually active women not using contraception
who report not wanting any more children or wanting to delay the next child.
Generally computed as a ratio:


The numerator is the sum of:

number of women (married or in consensual union) who are
pregnant or amenorrheic and whose pregnancies were unwanted or
mistimed,

fecund women who desire to either stop childbearing or postpone
their next birth for at least two years, or who are undecided about if
or when to have another child, and who are not using a
contraceptive method.
The denominator is the total number of women of reproductive age (15-49)
who are married or in consensual union.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health

UNFPA and UN Population Division
Main data sources:
Special surveys, including DHS, MICS, Fertility and family
surveys, Reproductive heath surveys, among others
Target 6B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
6.5 Proportion of population with advanced HIV infection
with access to antiretroviral drugs
 Percentage of adults and children with advanced HIV
infection currently receiving antiretroviral therapy
according to nationally approved treatment protocol
among the estimated number of people with advanced
HIV infection.
 Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been shown to reduce
mortality among those infected with HIV. This indicator
assesses the progress in providing ART to all people with
advanced HIV infection.
Target 6B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
6.5 Proportion of population with advanced HIV infection
with access to antiretroviral drugs
 Generally computed as a ratio:
–
–
The numerator is the number of people on antiretroviral
therapy.
The denominator is number of adults with advanced HIV
infection, calculated by adding
• the number of adults that need to start antiretroviral
therapy,
• the number of adults who are being treated in the
previous year and have survived to the current year.
Target 5B: Achieve, by 2015, universal access
to reproductive health
6.5 Proportion of population with advanced HIV infection
with access to antiretroviral drugs
International agencies compiling the data:
UNAIDS and WHO
Data for the numerator obtained from national programme
reporting systems - aggregated from health facilities or other
service delivery sites - or reports from drug supply management
systems. External validation of country reported figures is carried
out with data from pharmaceutical industry (if available).
Data provided by Ministries of Health (National AIDS
programmes, under the MoH).
Target 7B: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by
2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
7.4 Proportion of fish stocks within safe biological limits
Indirectly monitors over-fishing, which has contributed to
endangering a number of maritime species.
 Safe biological limits are the precautionary thresholds advocated by
the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.
The indicator is designed only for global and regional assessments.
Individual country assessments are of little importance because
fishing that affects the proportion of nation-specific fish stocks may be
caused by other countries.
Data compiled by FAO.
Target 7B: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by
2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
7.5 Proportion of total water resources used
 The total volume of groundwater and surface water withdrawn from
their sources for human use (in the agricultural, domestic and
industrial sectors), expressed as a percentage of the total volume of
water available annually through the hydrological cycle (total actual
renewable water resources).
 Shows the degree to which total renewable water resources are
being exploited to meet the country's water demand. It is a measure
of a country's pressure on its water resources and therefore on the
sustainability of its water use.
Data compiled by FAO through its AQUASTAT country surveys
(about every 10 years).
Target 7B: Reduce biodiversity loss, achieving, by
2010, a significant reduction in the rate of loss
7.7 Proportion of species threatened with extinction
 It is a standard measure of the loss of biodiversity.
Data compiled by United Nations Environment
Programme - World Conservation Monitoring Centre
(UNEP-WCMC).
Data source: International Union for Conservation of
Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List which
assigns categories of relative extinction risk, such as
"vulnerable", "endangered" or "critically endangered“, to a
broad range of species.
