1 Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger Indicator: Proportion of Population below $1per day of Value Data of Value Data Antigua and Barbuda The Bahamas Barbados Belize Dominica Grenada Guyana Haiti Jamaica Montserrat St Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia St Vincent and the Grenadines Suriname Trinidad and Tobago Anguilla Bermuda British Virgin Islands Cayman Islands Turks and Caicos Islands Proportion of population below $1 (PPP) per day - Proportion of population below $1 per day is the percentage of the population living on less than $1.08 a day at 1993 international prices. The one dollar a day poverty line is compared to consumption or income per person and includes consumption from own production and income in kind. This poverty line has fixed purchasing power across countries or areas and is often called an absolute poverty line or measure of extreme poverty.

Unpaid family workers who work for at least one hour should be included in the count of employment, although many countries use a higher hour limit in their definition. 1 For most countries, the working-age population is defined as persons aged 15 years and older, although this may vary slightly from country to country.

All forms of TB are included, as are cases in people with HIV. Tuberculosis prevalence refers to the number of cases of TB (all forms) in a population at a given point in time (sometimes referred to as "point prevalence") ). It is expressed as the number of cases per 100, population. Estimates include cases of TB in people with HIV. TB is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. It is transmitted from person to person via droplets from the throat and lungs of people with the active respiratory disease. In healthy people, infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis often causes no symptoms, since the person's immune system acts to wall off the bacteria. The symptoms of active TB of the lung are coughing, sometimes with sputum or blood, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats. Tuberculosis is treatable with a six-month course of antibiotics. The tuberculosis death rate indicator refers to the estimated number of deaths due to tuberculosis (TB) in a given time period. In this database, the indicator reflects the number of deaths per 100,000 population per year. Deaths from all forms of TB are included. However, deaths in HIV positive people with TB as a contributory cause are coded under HIV chapters of ICD10 and therefore, not included in this indicator.
