Household Satellite Account

The Household Satellite Account provides experimental results for measuring the economic prosperity of household groups through indicators of disposable income, final consumption expenditure and savings. Tracking the economic position of different household groups in the national accounts allows the presentation of results for household groups that are consistent with other macroeconomic aggregates and their trends. The household satellite account is oriented towards disaggregating households by the highest household income category (sub-sectors) or by the amount of household disposable income (quintiles). Based on the household satellite account data, it is possible to measure not only income inequalities between household groups but also to assess the overall economic disparity in society.
