For instance, when ten percent of the population or more live in such households, the 10lh percentile point is will be close to zero. This can be seen during periods of rapidly rising unemployment or withdrawal from the labour force, especially if job losses result in large numbers of workless households, as is indicated for Australia, Finland and United Kingdom during the mid-1990s recessions, and for Israel and Poland later on. When incomes at the bottom fall rapidly during and after recessions, incomes in the upper part of the distribution have often continued to rise at a reduced pace (Canada, Denmark and the United States for example). Where downturns do result in longer-lasting income losses for higher-income groups (as in Australia, Finland, Poland), the relative income decline tends to be significantly smaller than for low-income earners.
