Income dynamics: quick guide

Summary

Income Dynamics (ID) uses data from the Understanding Society survey to derive a measure of disposable household income for each individual.

Information on persistent low income and low income entries and exits is provided for all individuals, children, working-age adults, and pensioners. These measures also include a range of breakdowns so that they can be explored by factors of interest, such as the presence of long-standing illness or disability, ethnicity, country and region, and working status.
