During the first half of the 1990s income distribution was relatively stable.
Income varies according to job and type of family.
If the major groups of earners are compared, it emerges that during this period there has been a narrowing of income differentials. Since 1984, families with children have had a relatively favourable income trend thanks to transfer payments, i.e. child allowances that are not dependent on income. The distribution of capital is far more uneven than the distribution of income.
