• Due to revisions to income concepts the figures for 1966–1981, 1987–1992 and 1993–2008 are not fully comparable with each other.
• Current transfers received: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from factor income to gross income.
• Current transfers paid: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from gross income to disposable income.
• Combined effect of current transfers: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from factor income to disposable income.
