Notes: Three-months moving averages. Horizontal lines reflect long-term averages of financial distress for total and four income quartile households.
For total households, the share of adults reporting needing to draw on savings and needing to run into debt are stacked in the grey Chart area which adds
to total financial distress.

Sources: WiiW (2014, Tables A1 to A3) based on EU Structure of Earnings Survey data, release 2002, 2006 and 2010.
Notes: The coefficients are taken from the full Mincer regressions estimated separately for each country. Countries are ranked according to gender wage gap
in 2010. No information on career breaks available in the dataset. Since women are more likely to take career breaks, which may negatively impact upon their
wages, a failure to control for career breaks will bias the estimates of the wage gap slightly upwards.
