Title: Measuring Income Risk

Author(s): Simon Burgess, Karin Gardiner, Stephen P Jenkins and Carol Propper

Publication Date: July 2000

Keyword(s): Contribution Of Demographics To Risk and Income Risk

Programme Area(s): Labour Economics and Public Economics

Abstract: We provide a critique of the methods that have been used to derive measures of income risk and draw attention to the importance of demographic factors as a source of income risk. We also propose new measures of the contribution to total income risk of demographic and labour market factors. Empirical evidence supporting our arguments is provided using data from the British Household Survey.
