The 2000-01 issue of this publication incorporates a range of methodological improvements in household income distribution measurement and presentation. Estimates for 1994-95 to 1999-2000 have also been revised at this time. The changes have been made in response to revised user requirements, developments in international theory and practice, and an observed increase in undercoverage of government cash transfers payments measured in the SIHC in recent years. Users are advised that the changes incorporated in the 2000-01 issue may have an impact on the analysis of data taken from earlier issues.
