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) can be found in Annex 2.
Please see the notes for a full explanation of the methodologies used.
