MetricUnited Nations SDG social and development indicators

Proportion of the population who are refugees, by country of origin - SDG 10.7.4

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Reports the official United Nations SDG indicator 10.7.4 for its national, regional or global statistical population. Repeated target placements, technical series and disaggregations remain associations or dimensions rather than duplicate metrics.

Result format
Format varies by method
Unit
Structured table — field-level units: Series-specific unit or scale - see current UNSD metadata
Reporting basis
The national, regional or global reference period defined by the current indicator metadata and reported series
Aggregation
Aggregate only observations sharing the same UNSD indicator family, official series, population, geography, period, method version, unit, scale and disaggregation basis.

Reporting boundary

The country, population, household, government, local-government, economy, ecosystem, regional or global statistical population defined by the official indicator metadata; this is not silently interchangeable with a reporting-company boundary.

Value structure

Dimensions and units

Unit
Structured table — field-level units: Series-specific unit or scale - see current UNSD metadata
Reporting basis
The national, regional or global reference period defined by the current indicator metadata and reported series

Unit meaning: Each table field uses its stated unit. Use the unit, numerator, denominator, scale and series definition in the current custodian metadata for the selected official indicator series.

Table fields and units

  • Proportion of the population who are refugees, by country of origin (series-specific unit or scale)
  • Country, region or global reporting population
  • Reference period, official series and metadata edition
  • SDG target and source-defined disaggregations
  • Source data, estimation and uncertainty notes

Published dimensions

  • SDG indicator placement: 10.7.4
  • UNSD technical code: C100704
  • SDG target: 10.7
  • Tier classification: tier-i
  • Custodian agency: UNHCR
  • Country, region or global geography and reporting population
  • Official series, reference period, method version and source-defined disaggregations

Disclosure form

Apply the current custodian metadata and official series method for the named SDG indicator

The framework establishes the governed indicator identity while methods and units are maintained in indicator-specific metadata. Sustopedia preserves those methods by reference rather than inventing one formula.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: 2026-refined Global Indicator Framework; metadata repository as of 24 August 2026

  • State the SDG placement code, UNSD technical code, official series and metadata edition applied.
  • State the reporting population, geography, reference period, unit, scale, numerator and denominator where applicable.
  • Preserve target applicability and source-defined disaggregations without creating duplicate metric identities.
  • Disclose custodian, source data, estimation, aggregation, exclusions, uncertainty and departures from current metadata.

Record-specific limitations

  • The global SDG framework primarily governs official national, regional and global statistics; it does not make every indicator a company-reporting metric.
  • Series, sub-indicators, proxy measures and disaggregations in the metadata and SDMX structures are not additional canonical metric pages.
  • Tier classification describes methodology and data availability; Tier II and mixed-tier status does not make an indicator invalid.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
