Abstract
This article describes how the distribution of household income in the UK has changed over the last 30 years. It draws mainly on data published each year in the Offi ce for National Statistics’ (ONS) annual analysis ‘The effects of taxes and benefi ts on household income’ which is also known as the Redistribution of Income (ROI) analysis. Whereas the annual ROI article focuses primarily on the latest year’s data, this article provides a more detailed analysis of the way in which the income distribution has changed over time. A companion article ‘The redistribution of household income 1977 to 2006/07’ focuses on changes in the way that the tax and benefi t systems redistributed income, and how this affected the income distribution. This second article is available on the ONS website at: www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/ article.asp?id=2083 and will be appearing in the January 2009 edition of Economic & Labour Market Review
