We are happy to support @NetherlandsThe_ and their indicator for goal 1. The delegation is passionate about the Multidimensional Poverty Index being a far more beneficial measurement of poverty!
@intd2001uk believes including the bottom of 10% (as proposed to the @NetherlandsThe_ ) and would be interested in speaking with the @INTD2001_IPMG on their proposed amendments
Such would include public or free childcare services funded by the government for single women who make below a certain tax bracket so they are able to still provide for their families
The UK supports WHO in adding healthcare to the indicator and would also like to suggest adding other public services and social infrastructure to protect women
.@EdwardDaviesCSJ calls for more investment in Universal Credit work allowances - absolutely crucial to get this right so work always provides a route out of poverty: https://t.co/dHY8XfEghn #C4News#solveukpoverty@Channel4News
Delegation of the UK expresses support for the @NetherlandsThe_ proposed indicator for Goal 10. Including the bottom 10% in the indicator sets a steady path towards equality.

The IASS proposed to keep the benchmark at $1.25 because raising it would classify more people as living below the poverty line. The UK recognizes poverty as a way of life, not a number.
We would like to request those following indicators be disaggregated, integrating ethnicity, so as to recognize the particular and unique position of Indigenous People and other marginalized groups that are not represented on the national level. #INTD200117
Netherlands proposed a new indicator, the UK chooses to support it if slight amendments are made in accordance to the Indigenous Peoples Major Group point.
