Relative median at-risk-of-poverty gap

<p>The relative median at-risk-of-poverty gap helps to quantify how poor the poor are by showing the distance between the median income of people living below the poverty threshold and the threshold itself. The poverty threshold is set at 60 % of the national median income of all people in a country. It is aggregated for the EU as the population-weighted arithmetic average of national values. Data are taken from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and are based on <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Equivalised_disposable_income" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">equivalised disposable income.</a></p>
