(SILC).
AT-RISK-OF-POVERTY RATE is the percentage of persons living in households where the equivalised total disposable household income is below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold. AT-RISK-OF-POVERTY THRESHOLD is defined as 60% of median equivalised disposable income of all households. The OECD modified scale is used for the calculation of the EQUIVALISED INCOME (income per equivalent adult household member). The scale gives to the first adult in the household weight 1, to every other person aged 14 or more weight 0.5 and to children under 14 weight 0.3.

YEAR

Income, poverty and social exclusion indicators are published for the SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Conditions) survey year. The data on income for calculating these indicators are from a year earlier, i.e. the year before the survey is conducted.

MEASURES

Number of persons at-risk-of-poverty

Some totals do not add up due to rounding.

YEAR

2005

In SILC 2005 the tenure status was weighted to the structure from the 2002 Population Census. Because 2002 is far from 2006, the tenure status in SILC from 2006 on was not weighted to the structure from the 2002 Population Census. Therefore there is a significant change in the structure of persons and households according to tenure status. Due to this methodological change the at-risk-of-poverty rate with breakdown by tenure status is not completely comparable to data for the following years.
