Table explanation


This table presents data on the labour income share and the components used to calculate it. The labour income share is a measure of the distribution of earned income between providers of labour (employees and the self-employed) and providers of capital.

Data available from: 1995.

Status of the figures:
Data from 1995 up to and including 2023 are final. Data of 2024 and 2025 are provisional. The labour income share is based on data from the system of supply and use tables and the Sector accounts. Because the Sector accounts are revised annually, definitive figures can be subject to changes.

Changes as of July 8th 2026:
Data of 2025 have been added to this table. Following revision policy, 2024 data are updated, and time series of the sector accounts are revised (annual revision).

When will new figures be published?
Provisional data are published 6 months after the end of the reporting year. Final data are released 18 months after the end of the reporting year.
