61.7% of the employed population received some income, on average $83,755, in the third quarter of the year, amid a slight improvement in the distribution compared to the same period in 2021, according to the evolution of the Gini coefficient, reported the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (Indec).
In his report “Distribution of Income”, INDEC also specified that the poorest 10% of the employed population accounted for 1.4% of total income in that period, while the richest 10% concentrated 28.6%.
Regarding the employed population, INDEC reported that there was an average income of $78,930 and a median income of $62,000.
INDEC also reported that the average per capita income of the population, regardless of whether it is employed or not, reached $52,483.
Meanwhile, hethe greater equality was reflected in the Gini Coefficient, a mathematical relationship that has “0” as the level of greatest equality and “1” with the greatest imbalance.
Thus, the Gini Coefficient of the per capita family income of people reached a value of 0.424 points in the second quarter of the year, against 0.441 in the same period of 2021.
Analyzed according to the individual income scale, the average income of the low stratum (deciles 1 to 4) was $29,998; that of the middle stratum (deciles 5 to 8), of $79,066; and that of the upper stratum (deciles 9 and 10), of $200,714.
Male recipients had an average income of $95,609, while that of women was $72,150.
Regarding the salaried population, 9,362,196 people with an average income of $83,310 were registered.
The average income of salaried people with a retirement discount was $104,790, which marked a year-on-year increase of 68.9%, while for those without a discount, this income reached $45,981, with a year-on-year increase of 68.4%.
In the case of households, labor income represented 75.7% of total income, while non-labor income reached the remaining 24.3%.
The weight of non-labor income was greater for the lowest deciles of total family income, being equal to 60.4% in the first and 13.7% in the tenth.
Households with people in a dependency relationship showed that the number of people not employed was 126 for every 100 employed, while the number of people who did not earn income was 62 for every 100 earners.
This relationship is greater in the case of the lowest deciles since, for example, for decile 1 the number of unemployed people is equal to 254 people for every 100 employed, and 154 non-recipients for every 100 recipients; while in the 10th decile, 38 non-employed were noted for every 100 employed, and 17 non-recipients for every 100 recipients.
