Details
Income Dynamics provides estimates of the likelihood of the same people being persistently in low income in at least 3 out of 4 years and of mobility across the income distribution.
It does this using a survey which follows respondents over time. This is unlike the survey underlying the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series, which looks at the distribution of incomes with different samples each year.

Revised statistical release and background information and methodology. DWP analysts identified an error in the wording on page 14 of the report. The text referred to entries into and exits from ‘persistent low income’, whereas it should have referred to entries into and exits from ‘low income’. The same error was repeated once in the background information and methodology. The text has now been corrected in both documents.
