Abstract

In this paper, as part of the Panel TSER Project, we examine the distribution of disposable income among households in each of the countries participating in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP), and the extent of relative income poverty in those countries. In future papers we will be analysing non-monetary indicators of deprivation, the relationship between income and deprivation, and changes from one wave to another in both income and deprivation. This paper provides the initial foundation for that broader programme on longitudinal income and social exclusion, by presenting a detailed picture of income distribution and relative income poverty in Wave 1.
