- Due to revisions to income concepts the figures for 1966–1981, 1987–1992 and 1993–20089 are not fully comparable with each other.
- Current transfers received: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from factor income to gross income.
- Current transfers paid: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from gross income to disposable income.
- Combined effect of current transfers: Relative change in Gini-coefficient (%) when moving from factor income to disposable income.
- Due to changes made to the time series, the Gini coefficients have partly changed from the previous annual publications in the data of the years 1989 and 1993 to 2005.
