Notes on Figures and Tables

Austria

Available income data do not include the self-employed. Therefore, no data have been provided to INES.

Belgium

The Belgian data are based on a survey directed to 4,000 persons. For small groups the sample estimates are sometimes not precise. The relative incomes published here have been calculated by the Belgian authorities.

Portugal

All sectors of the economy except agriculture are reported.

Switzerland

Income data and information about labor force status refer to December 1990. No information is available about incomes and labor force status during the whole year. Due to non-response, income data were missing for 21 percent of the respondents in the labor force survey. The number of people and incomes are reported for those who answered the income question.
