Households with members that are active income earners in working life belong mainly to the higher end of the income distribution. Pensioners, students and the unemployed are usually found at the lower end of the income distribution.

The median for disposable monetary income per the household's consumption unit was EUR 24,006 for those living in owner-occupied dwellings and EUR 16,245 for those living in rented dwellings in 2011. The incomes were of the same magnitude as one year earlier. The median income for all households was EUR 21,534 in 2011. These data derive from Statistics Finlands income distribution statistics.

This is 13.2 per cent of the population. The number of children aged under 18 living in low income households was 120,000, which is 11 per cent of all children. The at-risk-of-poverty rates (poverty risks) of both the whole population and population subgroups have remained unchanged in recent years.

The income development of households with difficulties in making ends meet was in real terms weaker in 2011 than that of households on average. These data derive from the information collected in connection with Statistics Finland's income distribution statistics.

According to Statistics Finland's income distribution statistics, from 1995 to 2010 income level went up by 49 per cent among owner-occupier households and by 26 per cent among rental dweller households. In 2010, the average disposable income per consumption unit was EUR 26,970 for owner-occupiers and EUR 16,150 for renters. Of the 2,551,000 households in Finland, 68 per cent live in owner-occupied dwellings and 30 per cent in rented dwellings. One-half of the owner-occupied dwellings are debt-free.

The low income rate, or the proportion of low income earners in total population, was 13.3 per cent. From 2007 to 2010, the number of low income earners stayed at around 700,000 and the low income rate fluctuated between 13.1 and 13.5 per cent. Thus, the past few years have seen the end to the prolonged trend of growth that had continued since the mid-1990s.

According to Statistics Finland's income distribution statistics, the Gini coefficient was 25.9 in 2009, while one year previously it was 0.9 units higher. Income differentials contracted particularly at the highest-income end of the highest-income decile, because income measured by the mean of the top decile fell, but median income rose. In all other income deciles income grew.

Around 690,000 persons belonged to households falling below the low income limit. In the previous year the low income rate was 13.2. The annual change is not statistically significant, but differing from the long-term growth trend, low income earning did not rise in 2008 and 2009. At highest, low-income persons numbered 707,000 in 2007. Wed, 26 Jan 2011 07:00:00 GMT http://www.stat.fi/til/tjt/2009/02/tjt_2009_02_2011-01-26_tie_001_en.html
