The indicator is part of the EU Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicator set. It is used to monitor progress towards SDG 10 on reducing inequality within and among countries and SDG 1 on ending poverty in all its forms everywhere. SDG 10 among other things, calls for nations to adapt polices and legislation to increase the income of the bottom 40 % of the population and to reduce inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, race, class, ethnicity, religion and opportunity. SDG 1 calls for an eradication of extreme poverty and for a reduction of relative poverty over the next 15 years. It envisions shared prosperity, a basic standard of living and social protection benefits for people everywhere, including the poorest and most vulnerable. The indicator is also included as main indicator in the Social Scoreboard for the European Pillar of Social Rights. The European Pillar for Social Rights, adopted in 2017, sets out a number of key principles to support fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems. Those principles address topics related to inequality, by tackling both inequality of outcomes (income and wealth inequality) and inequality of opportunities: from wage-setting to social protection systems (including minimum income), gender equality, enabling social services, childcare and support to children, old-age income, health care and access to housing. While GDP per capita is used to measure the economic performance of a country, gross household disposable income provides an indication of the average material well-being of people. The indicator therefore measures whether the EU Member States are converging in terms of people's incomes. |

4.1. Data description | |||
The indicator reflects the purchasing power of households and their ability to invest in goods and services or save for the future, by accounting for taxes and social contributions and monetary in-kind social benefits. It is calculated as the adjusted gross disposable income of households and Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) divided by the purchasing power parities (PPP) of the actual individual consumption of households and by the total resident population. |
|||
4.2. Unit of measure | |||
PPS (current prices), index EU27_2020 = 100 and coefficient of variation |
|||
4.3. Reference Period | |||
Calendar year. |
|||
4.4. Accuracy - overall | |||
The indicator is produced according to the high-level quality standards of European Statistics. Details on accuracy can be found in the metadata of the source datasets (see link to related metadata). |
|||
4.5. Source data | |||
ESS Data source: European Statistical System (ESS) |
|
|||
5.1. Frequency of dissemination | |||
Every year Indicator is updated annually. Complete and updated ESS data release information can be accessed via Eurostat release calendar. |
|||
5.2. Timeliness | |||
T+1 year New data points are disseminated within one year after the reference year. |

|||
6.1. Reference area | |||
> 75% EU MS and EU aggregate Data are presented for all EU Member States except Bulgaria, Malta and Romania; plus Norway, Switzerland, Serbia and Türkiye. |
|||
6.2. Comparability - geographical | |||
All EU MS Data are comparable between all presented EU Member States respectively other presented countries. |
|||
6.3. Coverage - Time | |||
> 10 years Presented time series (including EU aggregates) starts in 2000. |
|||
6.4. Comparability - over time | |||
> 4 data points Length of comparable time series without methodological break is longer than 4 data points. However, caution is required when PPP based indicators are used for temporal comparison: In essence, PPPs are spatial price level indicators, and thus primarily suitable in comparisons referring to several geographical locations at a given point in time. |
