|description="Income inequality: S80/S20 disposable income quintile" calculates income disparity using the disposable income decile S80/S20 (OECD). The inter-quintile ratio of population income serves as an indication of income inequality. It is the ratio of the total equivalised net disposable income of the top 20% of earners (S80) to the bottom 20% (S20).
|codingrules=By dividing the S80 disposable income decile by S20 disposable income decile, the variable is computed. Income is defined as a household's disposable income in a given year. It includes earnings, self-employment, capital income, and public cash transfers. Households pay income taxes and social security contributions, which are deducted. Each household member's income is allocated based on their needs, taking into account variances in household size. Teorell et al. (2024:351) define the variable as "Income inequality: S80/S20 disposable income quintile share".
