(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.
