Data extracted in May 2016. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database. Planned article update: May 2017.

This article analyses recent statistics on income components in the European Union (EU). While statistics measuring the poverty, deprivation, work intensity are widely disseminated by Eurostat, data on income, collected at a very detailed level are currently not completely exploited.

The aim of this article is to improve the income distribution dissemination so as to help the general public to better understand what the distribution of income is in each country and across Europe, providing key information especially during periods of crisis and thus raising the relevance of EU-SILC data on income.

For this article, the total household gross income, income components and their means and shares are calculated for 2014. The total household gross income is further broken down into (i) income from employment, (ii) income from pensions, (ii) income from benefits and allowances and (iv) income from other sources. For the analysis of the income components, we look at the breakdowns by different subpopulations such as income quintiles, household composition and the degree of urbanisation (for detailed definitions see section 2 Data sources and availability below).
