The revision took place in coordination with other European countries.The previously diffused series are available in the sections "Regional accounts in the 2014 version" and "Regional accounts in the 2011 and 2005 versions" of this same site.Disposable income of the households in the italian regions at current prices: primary income formation (gross operating surplus, mixed income, compensation of employees, net property incomes) and income redistribution (current taxes, social contributions, social benefits, net other current tranfers).

Data source(s) used: Analysis of absolute poverty: Based on the households budget survey data, on the consumption prices indices and on the changes in the regulations of goods and services availability, the monetary value of the absolute poverty basket is yearly updated. Its value is compared with the consumption expenditure levels of the sampled households in order to classify and estimate the number of absolutely poor households and their degree of absolute poverty Other data characteristics: On 15 July 2015, poverty estimates based on the new Italian HBS have been disseminated. Since the current survey has been completely renewed, these estimates cannot be compared to the ones present in this topic.

The survey is carried out yearly, and provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal information. A rotational sample design is used. The use of 4 rotational groups allows to follow households up to four years. Household and individual characteristics are collected at the time of the interview, expenses refer to the last 12 months, while income reference period is usually the previous calendar year. Other data characteristics: Data is defined not significant when sample size is between 20 and 49 units.The current data differ from the previous ones following the update of the reference populations according to census results.The released data for 2008 were revised in 2018 after a correction of the carryover universe coefficients.The main source of income has been updated compared to the previous data and has been calculated on income that includes among the components the value of meal vouchers, the value of non-monetary fringe benefits (with the exception of the company car already previously considered), self-consumption (goods produced and consumed by the family) and supplementary pensions.
