New indicators: an overview of metadata and data preparation for the global
monitoring
Indicator 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.
Indicator 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.

Indicator 1.6 Proportion of employed people living below $1 (PPP) per day
 Gives an indication of the underpaid employed people.
 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.
Indicator 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.

Indicator 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 1519 years of age.
Indicator 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.
 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.
Indicator 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.

Indicator 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.
 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.
Indicator 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.
Indicator 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).
Indicator 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.
