Equivalisation

Equivalisation is a technique in economics in which members of a household receive different weightings.^[1] Total household income is then divided by the sum of the weightings to yield a representative income. Equivalisation scales are used to adjust household income, taking into account household size and composition, mainly for comparative purposes. See also equivalizing.
