Data and publication that provide detailed information on the low-income situation of persons living alone compared with other population groups according to various sociodemographic characteristics.
These tables contain two measures of income inequality among households and individuals: income quintiles and the Gini coefficient. These statistics are presented according to three types of income: market income, total income, and after-tax income.
These statistics are provided according to three types of income (market income, total income, and after-tax income) and are broken down by various socio-demographic characteristics of households and individuals.
These statistics focus on low household and individual income as defined by the Low Income Measure (LIM), as well as on low family unit and individual income as defined by the Market Basket Measure (MBM).
A new version of the Gini coefficient is added to the collection of tables on household and individual income inequality: a coefficient based on adjusted income, which takes into account household size.
