Background

Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) requires addressing the challenge of “leaving no one behind” and overcoming inequalities. The adoption of public policies at the subnational level requires integrating data from different sources to obtain proper estimates for geographical areas within countries. SDG indicator 1.1.1 seeks to estimate the proportion of the population below the international poverty line, disaggregated by sex, age group, employment status, and geographical location.
