The OECD's dataset on distributional information on household income, consumption and saving presents experimental distributional results for a range of OECD countries. The dataset resulted from the work of the Expert Group on Distributional information on household income, consumption, and saving (EG DNA), which defined an internationally comparable methodology to produce measures of disparities that are consistent with national accounts concepts and totals using existing micro data sources.

The OECD’s dataset on socio-demographic information accompanying the distributional information presents socio-demographic characteristics of the individuals and households included in the various household groups as distinguished in the dataset on distributional information on household income, consumption and saving. For the income quintiles, this concerns breakdowns of households according to household type and housing status and of individuals according to age, gender, labour market status and education level. For the breakdowns according to household type and main source of income, it only concerns information on the total number of households and consumption units per household group.
