| Theoretical formula |
Growth rates expenditure or income per capita The annualized growth in average real per capita income or consumption is calculated by first estimating the average real per capita income or consumption of the bottom 40% of the welfare distribution in years T0 and T1 and then calculating the average annual growth rate between those years using a compound growth formula: Crecimiento del ingreso o consumo = \(\left( \frac{Average\, T_1}{Average\, T_0} \right)^{\frac{1}{T_1 - T_0}} - 1\) The growth in average real per capita income or consumption of the total population is calculated in the same way using data for the total population. Relative growth index of the income of the poorest 40 % \[I_{relative}^{t} = \frac{TC_{40}^{t}}{TC^{t}}\]where: $TC_{40}^{t} =$ Growth rate of per capita income of households of the poorest 40 %, in year $t$ $TC^{t} =$ Growth rate of household per capita income, in year $t$ |

The number of units of consumption of a household is calculated using the modified OECD scale, which assigns a weighting of 1 to the first person aged 14 or over, a weighting of 0.5 to other persons aged 14 or over and a weighting of 0.3 to persons under the age of 14. In the relative growth index, the objective is sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average. A value above 1 indicates this superiority. |
