In April 2025, the UK minimum wage for adults over the age of 21 in will be 12.21 pounds per hour. For the 2025/26 financial year, there will be four minimum wage categories, three of which are based on age and one for apprentice workers. Apprentices, and workers under the age of 18 will have a minimum wage of 7.55 pounds an hour, increasing to ten pounds for those aged 18 to 20. When the minimum wage was first introduced in 1999, there were just two age categories; 18 to 21, and 22 and over. This increased to three categories in 2004, four in 2010, and five between 2016 and 2023, before being reduced down to four in the most recent year. The living wage The living wage is an alternative minimum wage amount that employers in the UK can voluntarily pay their employees. It is calculated independently of the legal minimum wage and results in a higher value figure. In 2023/24, for example, the living wage was twelve pounds an hour for the UK as a whole and 13.15 for workers in London, where the cost of living is typically higher. This living wage is different from what the UK government has named the national living wage, which was 10.42 in the same financial year. Between 2011/12 and 2023/24, the living wage has increased by 4.80 pounds, while the London living wage has grown by 4.85 pounds. Wage growth cancelled-out by high inflation 2021-2023 For a long period between the middle of 2021 and late 2023, average wage growth in the UK was unable to keep up with record inflation levels, resulting in the biggest fall in disposable income since 1956. Although the UK government attempted to mitigate the impact of falling living standards through a series of cost of living payments, the situation has still been very difficult for households. After peaking at 11.1 percent in October 2022, the UK's inflation rate remained in double figures until March 2023, and did not fall to the preferred rate of two percent until May 2024. As of November 2024, regular weekly pay in the UK was growing by 5.6 percent in nominal terms, and 2.5 percent when adjusted for inflation.

The structure of the household data file (file "H") is incorrect: the file contains an identical record for each household, duplicated for the number of its members (44,622 cases), instead of a single record for each household (18,487 cases). Pending a new release from the source, it is recommended to delete duplicate cases and keep only one case for each household ID (variable 'HB030'). The EU-SILC project (European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, EU Regulation, 2003) is one of the main sources of data for EU periodic reports on the social situation and the spread of poverty in the member countries. This is a sample survey on households for the analysis of income distribution, welfare and quality of life of families, as well as economic and social policies at national and/or European level. Italy participates in the project with the survey on living conditions (UDB IT SILC), conducted every year since 2004, providing both cross-sectional and longitudinal (households remain in the sample for four consecutive years) statistics. The income data refer to the calendar year previous to the survey, while data on the families' living conditions reflect the status detected at the time of the interview. At the household level is detected the following information: - characteristics of the house in which he lives: dwelling or neighborhood problems; condominium maintenance fees; charges for heating, water, gas, electricity, sanitation, telephone; housing expenses incurred for ordinary and extraordinary repairs, contributions to the costs incurred; possession of goods (washing machine, TV, refrigerator, car, etc.); housing tenure - rent and subletting: the amount of the rent; type of contract; difficult to pay the rent; presence of public support contributions - home ownership: the presence of a mortgage and its features - economic situation: the presence of one or more loans from banks and/or financial companies; chance to go on vacation; opportunity to buy meat, chicken or fish, ability to deal with unexpected expenses; difficult to get to the end of the month with the available income; presence of forms of income support (family benefits, maternity); income from rent and work; presence of hard economic times; help (economic and otherwise) by other persons; use of social card - incomes from young people under 16 years in the household At the individual level is detected the following information: - Education: degree; attend training - health: health status; presence of chronic diseases; the presence of limitations in activities performed routinely; need for visits to the dentist and/or emotional medical specialist, and why not visit - employment and unemployment: employment status; if he does not work, what activities he carried out to look for work; looking for a full or partial time job; minimum monthly income to what would be willing to work - main job (or work performed in the past): profession; career field; type of contract; working and/or contract changes in the last year; hours worked; years of work and pension contributions; professional status for each month in the reference year - goods and services by the employer: free accommodation; expenses refund for supplies; lunch vouchers; car or other vehicle; other personal expenses - self-employment: spending power; gain, draw or loss over the previous year; income from royalties; maternity allowance and/or parental leave - statement of income: employment/self-employment income (including additional fees); income from Co.Co.Co. and Co.Co.Pro. contracts; retirement income; income from disability payments, accidents at work; unemployment benefits; layoff gains; scholarships; family allowances - other information: payment of allowances to ex-spouse/ex-partner or children; voluntary pension plans; presence of savings and how they are invested; income from land or buildings; IMU; completion of the tax return - personal goods and leisure activities: availability of new clothes and shoes; conducting leisure activities (cinema, concerts, sports, etc.); use of public transport - Wellness: degree of satisfaction with their lives, with their own economic situation, with the house in which they live and with their work; time taken to travel to work; degree of satisfaction with the leisure time at its disposal, with personal relationships, with available services; state of mental health; degree of trust in institutions 18.487 families, 44.622 individuals.
