Chapters
This section includes an overview of the background and shows:
- summary of key findings,
- distribution of disposable income,
- how different client groups (children, working-age adults and pensioners) are distributed across income quintiles,
- the percentage of each client group below various fractions of median income,
- the composition by client group of the total number of people below these thresholds, and
- persistence of low income dynamics.
Supplementary tables
This section focuses on changes over time in:
- population estimates for key groups,
- measures of income inequality,
- percentages of groups with income below various fractions of contemporary median income,
- median income by quintile for a range of groups, and
- percentages of groups with income below various fractions of base-year median income.
The supplementary tables generally show time series from 1994/5 to 2004/05 with estimates based on data from the Family Resources Survey. However, the tables in section H cover a longer time period (1979 to 2004/05) with results for earlier years drawn from the Family Expenditure Survey (FES).

This section includes the glossary and definitions of the terms used in the report, more detail on HBAI methodology and additional analyses including:
- Headline results using OECD equivalisation scales.
- Comparison of Northern Ireland, Great Britain and United Kingdon low-income estimates.
- Time series analysis by ethnicity and by region.
