Stephen Jenkins

No 2015-01, ISER Working Paper Series from Institute for Social and Economic Research

Abstract: This chapter describes the UK income distribution and how it has evolved over the last 50 years. It also includes some comparisons with the income distributions of other rich countries. Multiple perspectives on the distribution are provided: there is evidence about real income levels and inequality, and the prevalence of affluence and of poverty.
