Annex 1 - Detailed Tables (BELOW 50%, 60% AND 70% OF MEDIAN INCOME)

These tables, in addition to the headline below 60% of median estimates, also show the numbers of children, working aged adults and pensioners in households whose equivalised income is below 50% and 70% of the median. These are in support of 'Opportunity for all' (this is the annual UK Government report about tackling poverty and social exclusion, please see useful references here) and to give an idea of the depth of low income.

CHILDREN IN LOW INCOME SCOTTISH HOUSEHOLDS

Table A1.1: CHILDREN in ABSOLUTE low income Scottish households

Note: Due to rounding, the estimates for children, working age adults and pensioners may not sum to the total for all individuals.
As part of the alignment of headline estimates with the new Child Poverty Target methodology, this is the first year to use the OECD equivalisation scale, and for the absolute measure, a 1998/99 base year. Estimates under the previous methodology (McClements equivalence scale and 1996/97 base year) for below 60% of median can be found in Annex 2.
Please see the notes for a full explanation of the methodologies used.

Table A1.2: CHILDREN in RELATIVE low income Scottish households
