    Description

    This statistic shows the median household income in the United States from 1990 to 2023 in 2023 U.S. dollars. The median household income was 80,610 U.S. dollars in 2023, an increase from the previous year. Household incomeThe median household income depicts the income of households, including the income of the householder and all other individuals aged 15 years or over living in the household. Income includes wages and salaries, unemployment insurance, disability payments, child support payments received, regular rental receipts, as well as any personal business, investment, or other kinds of income received routinely. The median household income in the United States varies from state to state. In 2020, the median household income was 86,725 U.S. dollars in Massachusetts, while the median household income in Mississippi was approximately 44,966 U.S. dollars at that time. Household income is also used to determine the poverty line in the United States. In 2021, about 11.6 percent of the U.S. population was living in poverty. The child poverty rate, which represents people under the age of 18 living in poverty, has been growing steadily over the first decade since the turn of the century, from 16.2 percent of the children living below the poverty line in year 2000 to 22 percent in 2010. In 2021, it had lowered to 15.3 percent. The state with the widest gap between the rich and the poor was New York, with a Gini coefficient score of 0.51 in 2019. The Gini coefficient is calculated by looking at average income rates. A score of zero would reflect perfect income equality and a score of one indicates a society where one person would have all the money and all other people have nothing.

    Description

    In the course of validating the households below average income (HBAI) statistics, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Department for Social Development (Northern Ireland) statisticians identified an inconsistency in the way Northern Ireland rates were being calculated over time. As a result the proportion of population groups in low-income households has been overestimated. The effect on UK low-income statistics is likely to be very small (of the order of 0.1 percentage points lower) while the effect on Northern Ireland low-income statistics is likely to be larger (of the order of 1 or 2 percentage points lower).

    Median household income is the middle value of the incomes earned in the prior year by households in an area. Income and earnings are inflation-adjusted for the last year of the 5-year period. The median value is used as opposed to the average so that both extremely high and extremely low prices do not distort the total amount of income earned by households in an area.

    Description

    In Turkey, the average annual income was recorded at higher values in the case of men than women each year from 2008 to 2024. However, the gender pay gap fluctuated over time and has been widening. In 2024, men earned 251,050 Turkish lira on average, whereas women made 183,153 Turkish lira. That indicated a 27-percent pay gap between men and women in the country. Average income varies significantly depending on education level With high inflation leading to soaring prices and a decline in purchasing power within the country, the Minimum Wage Determination Commission, established by the Turkish government, has taken steps to regulate the minimum wage. As of 2024, the minimum wage was adjusted to 17,000 Turkish lira (497.4 U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2024), more than doubling compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, education levels continue to play a crucial role in income disparities in Turkey. Individuals with higher education degrees consistently earned the highest average annual income, reaching nearly 158,000 Turkish lira in 2023. In contrast, illiterate individuals earned about 45,600 Turkish lira on average. Labor force participation and economic inactivity The average labor force participation rate in Turkey reached 53.3 percent in 2023, with considerable regional variations. That year, Ardahan recorded the highest rate at 61.7 percent, while Siirt had the lowest at 38.5 percent. At the same time, there were a significant number of Turkish people who were not in the workforce in 2023. Over nine million people did not work that year due to being housewives, and nearly 5.4 million were absent due to disability, old age, or illness.

Description

This statistic shows the median household income in the United States from 1990 to 2023 in 2023 U.S. dollars. The median household income was 80,610 U.S. dollars in 2023, an increase from the previous year. Household incomeThe median household income depicts the income of households, including the income of the householder and all other individuals aged 15 years or over living in the household. Income includes wages and salaries, unemployment insurance, disability payments, child support payments received, regular rental receipts, as well as any personal business, investment, or other kinds of income received routinely. The median household income in the United States varies from state to state. In 2020, the median household income was 86,725 U.S. dollars in Massachusetts, while the median household income in Mississippi was approximately 44,966 U.S. dollars at that time. Household income is also used to determine the poverty line in the United States. In 2021, about 11.6 percent of the U.S. population was living in poverty. The child poverty rate, which represents people under the age of 18 living in poverty, has been growing steadily over the first decade since the turn of the century, from 16.2 percent of the children living below the poverty line in year 2000 to 22 percent in 2010. In 2021, it had lowered to 15.3 percent. The state with the widest gap between the rich and the poor was New York, with a Gini coefficient score of 0.51 in 2019. The Gini coefficient is calculated by looking at average income rates. A score of zero would reflect perfect income equality and a score of one indicates a society where one person would have all the money and all other people have nothing.
