Median equivalised disposable income by sex (annual, EUR)
Annual median equivalised disposable income in euro, broken down by sex, for EU member states, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and EU/euro-area aggregates. Eurostat dataset ilc_di03 ('Mean and median income by age and sex'), filtered to statinfo=MED_EI ('Median equivalised income'), age=TOTAL, sex=M/F, unit=EUR (euro). It extends the headline dataset 'median-income-annual' (the sex=T slice of the same table). Each row is one (year, country, sex): the median equivalised disposable income for males and females separately - income is equivalised at the household level (modified OECD equivalence scale), so the sex gap reflects the gender composition of households across the income distribution rather than a pay gap per se. Method and caveats as the headline dataset; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule). Units: euro (EUR), nominal. Coverage: 1995 to the present, annual. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, sex). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year, sex. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat updates EU-SILC indicators in autumn. Sample use: filter country_code='DEU' to track the male-female median income gap over time.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| year | string | Reference year of the observation (stored as January 1), from the 'time' dimension. |
| country_code | string | Reporting country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (mapped from Eurostat's alpha-2 codes). Also carries the provider aggregates (e.g. 'EU27_2020', 'EA20', 'EA19') verbatim. |
| country_name | string | Canonical English country name (hub.normalize), or the Eurostat-published label for the EU/EA aggregates. |
| sex | string | Sex from the 'sex' dimension: M ('Males') and F ('Females'). Age slice age=TOTAL ('Total', all ages). |
| sex_label | string | Eurostat-published group label, verbatim from the API. |
| median_income_eur | float | Median equivalised disposable income for the sex group, in euro (nominal), from the 'statinfo' indicator MED_EI (dataset ilc_di03, 'Mean and median income by age and sex', from EU-SILC). Income is equivalised at the household level (modified OECD equivalence scale), so the sex gap reflects the gender composition of households across the income distribution rather than a pay gap per se. The male median is higher than the female median in the large majority of published country-years. (unit: euro (EUR), nominal) |
