Household net financial wealth (OECD - 2016)

Net financial wealth consists of : currency and deposits, securities other than share, loans, shares and other equity (including shares issued by investment funds), insurance technical reserves, and other accounts receivable or payable, net of household financial liabilities, as defined by the System of National Accounts – SNA. It does not include properties, pensions and life insurance.
Household median equivalised net income (Eurostat - 2015)
This map is based on the Eurostat for 2015. Additional regional data was used for Germany and Italy. The household income differs from the personal income or income by employee as it takes into account the number of people in the household (larger families have a lower household income) and the number of people working in the household. Countries with a higher percentage of women working and a lower gender gap for salaries (like Scandinavian countries) score higher household incomes. To calculate equivalised income, membres of the household receive different weightings. Total household income is then divided by the sum of the weightings to yield a representative income. The household median equivalised net income represents the disposable income after tax of a family right in the middle section of the population (half of the population being richer, the other half poorer). In other words, it could be seen as a representation of the most average middle class family.
Median equivalised disposable income in PPS (Eurostat - 2018)
This map is based on the data from Eurostat for 2018. The scale is in purchasing power standard (PPS), an artificial currency unit, which, theoretically, can buy the same amount of goods and services in each country. The median level of disponable income represents what the 'average worker' earns after taxes and social security have been deducted. This average worker's income is set so that exactly half of the people in the country earn more and the other half earn less. This median equivalised disposable income increased in every country from 2008 to 2018 except in Cyprus (- 6%) and Greece (- 23%). The biggest increases were in Romania (+ 103 %), Estonia (+ 78 %), Poland (+ 72 %), Slovakia (+ 58 %) and Lithuania (+ 56%).

Maximum tax rate on the acquisition of a residential property
Various sources were used to collect the data for this map. The tax rate indicated comprises the total of all acquisition taxes and fees known, depending on the country, as stamp duty land tax (SDLT), notary fees, property registration fees, real estate tax (RET), real estate transfer tax (RETT), etc. The real estate agent's fee and the VAT on new properties are not included, as these do not apply to all purchases. Some countries (e.g. Cyprus, Israel, UK) have variable tax rates depending on the price of the property. In such cases the highest rate was taken into account. Note that a few European countries have different rates for corporate properties (e.g. Sweden). In Ukraine the maximum tax rate for primary property is 2%, but it can go up to 8.5% for secondary residences.

Factor adjusted gender pay gap
This map was computed by averaging the data of the factor-weighted gender pay gap from International Labor Organization (ILO) for 2018 with the adjusted pay gap from the Eurostat 2018 gender gap report. In both cases, the raw mean and median wage differences are corrected (using econometric analysis) by considering education levels, age, working time (full-time versus part-time) and status (private-sector versus public-sector employment). The EU report also takes into account job experience, the type of employment contract and working
time.
