Scottish Households Below Average Income 2005/06

Annex 2: 2005/06 Low Income Tables Using Previous Headline Equivalisation Methodology

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. To allow comparisons of this change in methodology, these two tables show low income poverty estimates under the previous methodology (McClements equivalence scale and 1996/97 base year).
