Notes

  • Statistics Portugal note (0014082): Data concerning year n are collected on operation SILC n+1. The net income was transformed into the equivalent household income per individual, using the OECD-modified equivalence scale. For each household, the equivalent household income per individual is obtained from the quotient of household's total income and the household's size in terms of equivalent adult members, and this value is assigned to each household member.
