This paper focuses on financial disadvantage among Australians using data from the first two waves (2001 and 2002) of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. In this paper, three dimensions of financial disadvantage are investigated: income poverty (both before and after-housing); subjective poverty; and financial stress. For this paper, being in income poverty is defined as living in a household with an income of less than 50 per cent of median equivalised disposable household income. The equivalence scale used was the modified Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) scale. Both before and after-housing measures were analysed. Subjective poverty is based simply on whether respondents view themselves as poor or very poor.
