Distribution of family income: improved estimates.
نویسنده
چکیده
This article describes the results of research to improve estimates of the distribution of family income. In this research, a microdata file was constructed for 1972 using several data sources. The data obtained from these sources were combined and adjusted to produce more precise estimates. Current Population Survey estimates were then evaluated using these improved estimates. Using the improved estimates increased 1972 mean income for all units by 11 percent. The income share of the top 5 percent of the distribution increased substantially. Property income increased and wage and salary income decreased in relative importance. The mean income of family units headed by persons aged 65 or older increased by about 40 percent, by far the largest rise for any group examined; the increase was far lower for low-income family units in that age group. A simple update of mean incomes to 1979 showed no substantial changes from the 1972 pattern of adjustments.
