Disposable incomes flatlined after the GFC

For 30-somethings, disposable incomes have only just started to recover after more than a decade of stagnation.

Disposable income is based on median household equivalised income (real, December 2022 prices). Data for 1986-2001 comes from the Grattan Institute and is based on ABS analysis. Data for 2001-2022 comes from HILDA.
