Description
|
An important focus of public policy is to ensure acceptable living conditions (or living standards) for all Australians. The economic wellbeing of individuals is largely determined by their command over economic resources. People's income and reserves of wealth provide access to many of the goods and services consumed in daily life.
While income is usually received by individuals, it is normally shared between partners in a couple relationship and with dependent children. To a lesser degree, there may be sharing with other members of the household. Even when there is no transfer of income between members of a household, nor provision of free or cheap accommodation, members are still likely to benefit from the economies of scale that arise from the sharing of dwellings. Measures of individuals' economic wellbeing are therefore generally based on the income, expenditure and wealth of the household in which they reside.
