1: The reference year for determining the at-risk-of-poverty rate for EU-SILC (LEBEN IN EUROPA) is the year prior to the year in which the survey is taken. 2: Ratio between the total income of the top fifth and that of the bottom fifth of the income distribution. 3: The Gini coefficient, or Gini index, is a measure of the relative concentration, or inequality, and can take a value between zero and one (Gini coefficient) or a value on a scale between 0 and 100 (Gini index). In the case of equal distribution, the Gini coefficient takes the value of zero, while in the case of the entire income being concentrated in only one person, the value is 1.
