| Description of indicator |
a) Gini coefficient of disposable income, post taxes and transfers: Disposable income is used in the calculation of the Gini coefficient of disposable income, post taxes and transfers. Disposable income deducts from gross income the value of taxes on income and wealth paid and of contributions paid by households to public social security schemes b) Gini coefficient of market income, before taxes and transfers: Market income is used in the calculation of the Gini coefficient of market income, before taxes and transfers. Market income adds to primary income the value of employment-related social insurance transfers received by households. |

| Other information | The Redistributive Impact of Fiscal Policy indicator is defined as the Gini coefficient of prefiscal per capita (or equivalized) income less the Gini coefficient of postfiscal per capita (or equivalized) income. Prefiscal income is defined as the cumulative income accruing to an individual (or a household) from market and private sources only. Postfiscal income is prefiscal income minus direct and indirect taxes plus transfers and indirect subsidies. For example, if the Redistributive Impact of Fiscal Policy is positive, that indicates that the net effect of Fiscal Policy is to reduce the Gini Coefficient, from what it otherwise would be without Fiscal Policy (in an accounting sense, not as an economic counterfactual). |

Income and Living Conditions Survey
| Sample coverage | The sampling frame is based on Address Based Population Register System and National Address Database which was established in 2007. From this linked system, clusters (blocks) involving approximately 100 dwelling addresses (between 80 and 120) are constructed and this blocked list is defined as the sampling frame of EU SILC survey. The register system is updated twice in the year. Addresses of the institutional population are not included in the sampling frame. |

Employment information was inquired by taking into account the interview date and last week (refers the week before the interview date), Living conditions indicators were questioned for current status at the time of interview. |
