At-risk-of-poverty - Headcount - EUROMOD estimates

The indicators shown here do not necessary coincide with those published by Eurostat. For more information, please see the disclaimer.

The tables show the At-risk-of-poverty (AROP) headcount (also referred to as rate), which is the share of individuals below a poverty line as defined under a criterion. EUROMOD Indicators use the Foster–Greer–Thorbecke indices (FGT(0) measure), which coincides with the Eurostat definition. The indicator is computed for several income components and for three different poverty lines, defined as 40%, 50% and 60% of equivalised diposable income. These poverty lines are used for all income components except post-CT disposable income, whose poverty lines are computed on median equivalised post-CT disposable income. Results are shown by age group and for the whole population (all).

Results are shown in percentage.

For more information on the economic and socio-demographic concepts used, see the EUROMOD Glossary and the list of breakdown variables.
