Median Household Income Overview

The indicator refers to the median income of a household in a country. Median household income divides households into two equal segments, such that the first half earns less than the median income while the second half earns more. The median income is defined in PPP (Purchasing Power Parity, in Current International Dollars) terms so as to avoid exchange rate fluctuations due to inflationary tendencies across countries. The median income level is generally accepted as a better indication of well-being or actual income distribution as it is not skewed by disproportionate data.

According to GlobalData, the top ten countries with the highest median household income in the world are Singapore, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg, Belgium, the United States, Cyprus, and Australia. The average median household income (PPP) was $40,094 in 2021.

Key elements that are influencing Global Economy

Increased COVID-19 impact:

As a result of Omicron, a new variant of COVID-19, more cases have been reported worldwide, resulting in the disruption of supply chain management. However, the global vaccination drive has reduced the fatality rate from the coronavirus.

Rising Inflation and Interest Rates:

As a result of rising inflation rates in both developing and advanced economies, central banks have been forced to tighten monetary policy and raise interest rates to keep prices from rising. However, a steady increase in interest rates could cause financial distress in some economies.
