Annual Median Income Cint uses the median household income to provide a point of comparison between income-earners in each country. Where the mean income average is the sum of all parts (or aggregate income) divided by the number of items (or income earners), the median average is the point that divides the population into two groups; half of the population makes an income below the median income amount, and half makes more than that amount. The median income is seen as a better indicator as it avoids the effect of dramatically high or low values. 68%owns their own home 27%owns a smartphone 82,5%has access to internet 48,3%is on Facebook 52,6%owns some type of vehicle

Nice to Know about United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is a unitary state consisting of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales; associated with the UK are 14 overseas territories. These territories came under British rule as the nation sought to expand its empire through colonialism, in 1922 the British Empire was at its height and encompassed almost a quarter of the world’s surface. Surpassing that of the Mongols and Russia. 

The United Kingdom is home to some of the top universities in the world. Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) rated students in England 7th in the world for maths and 6th for science. Education is devolved, meaning that each state within the UK is responsible for its own system. In 2010, students around the world watched in horror as British lawmakers approved a plan to increase tuition fees in England three-fold to a range of £6,000 to £9,000 ($14,000 USD). Many opposing the hike felt that the fees were coming before higher quality education – the reason for the increase in addition to a spending freeze by the government – was implemented. Concerns abound regarding what will result from the higher cost of post-secondary education such as decreased social mobility, higher student debt and reinforced income inequality.
