Notes:
1. Figures have been adjusted to 2012/13 prices using RPI and are rounded to the nearest pound (£).
2. Self-employment is defined using the ILO definition.
3. The Family Resources Survey is a nationally representative sample of UK households.
4. The figures from the Family Resources Survey are based on a sample of households which have been adjusted for non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors which align the Family Resources Survey to former Government Office Region population by age and sex. Estimates based on survey data are subject to uncertainty due to sampling error and remaining non-response error.
5. Median self-employment income divides the number of people, when ranked by self-employment income, into two equal-sized groups.
