The indicators which measure this goal are, 1. Proportion of population below $1 (1993 PPP) per day (World Bank), 2. Poverty gap ratio [incidence x depth of poverty] (World Bank), 3. Share of poorest quintile in national consumption (World Bank). Target 2 of this goal is to Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger which can me determined by the indicators of 4. Prevalence of underweight children under five years of age (UNICEF-WHO) and
5. Proportion of population below minimum level of dietary energy consumption (FAO).
Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education which Target is to Ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. The indicators which measure education concearns are, 6. Net enrolment ratio in primary education (UNESCO), 7. Proportion of pupils starting grade 1 who reach grade 5 (UNESCO) and 8. Literacy rate of 15-24 year-olds (UNESCO).
Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women whichs targets are to Eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education no later than 2015.
