Footnotes

2. As part of the ELC expansion monitoring and evaluation strategy a wider set of ELC indicators are being finalised in 2022. We would therefore want to ensure that the indicator in the child poverty measurement framework is aligned with this as far as possible. This indicator will initially be developed using the 2021 SHS data so specific details will be confirmed later in 2022.

3. Due to the impact of Covid on SHS data collection, data for this indicator will be available from 2023.
