Also, the German car industry’s woes have sucked up most of the attention. But another storm is brewing in machinery - the other core engine of Germany’s growth model.

The typical pensioner and typical child’s household income were once very similar, but have diverged. In cash terms, the equivalised household income gap between pensioners and children has grown from roughly zero in the early 2000s to over £5,000 by 2023-24 and potentially over £7,000 by 2029-30.
The divergence in child versus pensioner income trends over both halves of the 2020s is also not new. In 2002-03 pensioners and children had very similar typical equivalised household incomes, but between then and 2023-24 the median pensioner income grew by 32 per cent and the child figure by 7 per cent (with the typical working-age income growing by 8 per cent). In cash terms, the equivalised household income gap between pensioners and children has grown from roughly zero in the early 2000s to over £5,000 by 2023-24 and potentially over £7,000 by 2029-30. As we explore below, this is also reflected in poverty figures.

Low-to-middle income families have been experiencing a 'comfort crunch', as they now spend more of their budgets on essentials, especially energy and food. Read more 👉 buff.ly/gXWlEGQ
Poorer families in Britain are spending more of their income on essentials 
The poorest half of working-age households now spend 49% of their non-housing budgets on essentials like food, utility bills, clothing, childcare, and transport, up from 42% in 2002.

Meanwhile richer households now spend 41% of their budgets on essentials, up from 37% in 2002.  This cost increase comes despite many essentials falling in price.
The cost of clothes has fallen by 37% in real terms since before the financial crisis. Fuel is cheaper in real terms today than it was in 2002.

While the recent surge in ‘cheapflation’ on low-cost groceries increased rates of food insecurity, food prices are still 11% lower than the OECD average.But energy costs have skyrocketed.
Between 2000 and 2019, the cost of gas and electricity doubled in real terms. These costs shot up further between 2019 and 2023, with annual bills rising from £1,200 to £2,051.

While energy prices have come down from the 2023 peak, total household energy debt has more than doubled, from £1.6 billion in Q4 2019 to £3.9 billion in Q4 2024.A social tariff could help struggling families with energy bills. 
Offering a 10% tariff discount to the poorest two-fifths of households in England and Wales would cost £1.6 billion. 

This the same as the expected cost of the re-introduce Winter Fuel Payments, but better targeted at those who need help the most.

Headline ineqaulity hasn't budged since the 1980s. So why are people talking about it more? It could be bc of widening wealth gaps. Right now, wealth is twice as unequally distributed as income. The wealth gap between the top and the middle of the distribution is17 per cent bigger than in 2006.
