Abstract
How did changes in disposable income over the last decade affect the population at different life stages? Our paper measures and analyses income at distinct life stages and its changes between 2007 and 2016 in Austria, France, and Italy. The analysis is based on aggregate economic data from the European System of Accounts and on micro-data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions. By distinguishing the population according to life stages, we show that income of the young, childless adult population and of families with small children stagnated or declined, while the development of income was much more favorable for the older population.
