Disparities in adjusted gross disposable income of households per capita

Disparities in national household income per capita across the EU and Euro area are calculated as the coefficient of variation of 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. The indicator reflects national differences in 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. The time series offer a measure of the convergence of household income within the EU and Euro area.
