    Median equivalised disposable income (annual, EUR)

    Annual median equivalised disposable income in euro, 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=T, unit=EUR (euro). Each row is one (year, country): the median equivalised disposable income - half the population lives in households with more, half with less. Method: Eurostat compiles EU-SILC microdata transmitted by the member states; income is equivalised disposable income (modified OECD equivalence scale: 1.0 for the first adult, 0.5 for each additional person aged 14+, 0.3 for each child under 14). Non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: euro (EUR), nominal. Caveats: nominal euro values mix real income growth with inflation and exchange-rate effects (non-euro countries); national EU-SILC redesigns create series breaks for some countries; DE publishes a back-cast 1995 cell with a 2003-2004 gap before the EU-SILC era. 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). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly; Eurostat updates EU-SILC indicators in autumn. Sample use: join with 'eurostat-income-quintile-share-ratio-annual' to separate income levels from income inequality.

    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.
