These charts are taken from 2006/2007 data published by the UK’s Inland Revenue.
A few observations (some blindingly obvious):
- How much lower the mean and median of women’s income is to that of men
- For the age range 30 – 54, women’s income is almost constant
- The substantial differences between mean and median, especially for men, that illustrates there are a hell of a lot of lower paid people that brings down the average.
- The median income of men aged 65+ is about half of that of those aged 45-49. Note there is nothing like the same fall in the level of women’s income.
Fascinating stuff. I will next publish some musings about the distribution of wealth.
