Notes: Between and within contributions to total variance are based on unweighted averages by zone, while the Theil index is based on weighted averages
(including the EU-28 weighted average). The dates correspond to the dates of the SILC waves which refer to households’ incomes on the year before. Some
missing values at the beginning of the period were kept constant for the calculation of dispersion and averages: RO (2005-06), CZ, DE, CY, LV, LT, HU, MT, NL, PL,
SI, SK, UK (2004).
