 There was an evident above-average increase in the disposable incomes of individuals in households with low incomes. This holds both for households of couples aged between 18 and 39 with children of pre-school age and for single parent households. On the other hand individuals with high incomes, for example single person households and couples without children, saw their disposable income increase at below the average rate. However, these individuals had some of the highest disposable incomes in 2005.
 There was an above-average increase in the disposable incomes of children under the age of 18, which can largely be explained by their parents' disposable incomes experiencing above-average growth.
 A change in social benefits (excluding pensions) contributed negatively to the overall growth of disposable incomes. A decrease in the real values of social benefits and a change in the number of beneficiaries led to individuals' disposable incomes decreasing by 2.5% on average.
 The overall increase in disposable incomes was most substantially influenced by growth in wages and pensions. Employment growth only contributed substantially to the growth in disposable incomes for certain types of households. For example, the gradual increases in retirement age resulted in an increase in employment in households whose eldest member was between 40 and 64 years old.
