Available indicator

Proportion of main dwellings with access to basic services (running water supply and toilet)
Target

1.4 By 2030, ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, as well as access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, appropriate new technology and financial services, including microfinance
Goal

1- End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Definition

Available series:

- Proportion of homes with running water: Proportion of main family dwellings with running water supply

- Proportion of homes with a bathroom: Proportion of main family dwellings with a bathroom
Theoretical formula

Proportion of homes with running water

\[PVP_{running\, water}^{t} = \frac{VP_{running\, water}^{t}}{VP^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$VP_{running\, water}^{t} =$ main family dwellings with running water supply in year $t$

$VP^{t} =$ main family dwellings in year $t$


Proportion of homes with a bathroom

\[PVP_{bathroom}^{t} = \frac{VP_{bathroom}^{t}}{VP^{t}} \cdot 100\]

where:

$VP_{bathroom}^{t} =$ main family dwellings with a bathroom in year $t$

$VP^{t} =$ main family dwellings in year $t$

This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

The United Nations indicator is based on nine components. The proportion of the population living in households with access to basic services is defined as the proportion of the population using public service delivery systems that meet basic human needs, including safe drinking water, sanitation, hygiene, energy, mobility, waste collection, healthcare, education, and information technology.

These components are captured in various standalone indicators of the SDGs, which means that the concepts and definitions of SDG indicator 1.4.1 will be derived from or are the same as those of these specific SDG indicators.

Among the different aspects of poverty, this indicator focuses on access to basic services. Providing access to basic services such as safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services, sustainable energy and mobility, housing, education, healthcare, etc., helps improve the quality of life of the poor.

The lack of basic service provision and the lack of empowerment and participation of local governments in the provision of basic services undermine economic growth and the quality of life in any community. Adequate basic service delivery systems promote socioeconomic improvements and help achieve economic growth, social inclusion, poverty reduction, and equality.

More specifically, improved basic services can help to raise well-being and productivity of communities, create jobs, save time and human effort in transporting water, support food security, better use of energy, production of essential commodities, improve health (by making medical care, clean water or solid waste collection available) or enhance the level of education.
