Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion
Ms Colette Bennett:
Income is just one aspect of it. The ranking is based on the SDGs as a whole. Denmark is the first ranked country, by the way. SILC looks at more than just income and poverty rates. It looks at education, our healthcare system, transparency in our Government system and our official development assistance, ODA. It is looking at all of that in the round across the 17 goals. That is where those numbers for Ireland are coming from.
