Czech Republic, Jan 25 (BD) – “Household income did not grow evenly in 2020. Households with seniors over 65 grew the fastest. On the other hand, single parent households with children had the lowest income,” said Jiří Pekárek from the CZSO Household Survey Department.
The threshold for the income poverty rate indicator has also risen. It differs according to different types of households. For individuals it is set at CZK 14,055, and for parents with two small children it is CZK 29,515 per household per month. The percentage of citizens below the poverty rate has fallen from 9.5% to 8.6%.
