Flatlining incomes, housing stress, inequality narrowing but men doing more housework says HILDA survey

Flatlining incomes, persistent housing stress, renters struggling to buy their own homes and women doing more housework than men.

They're some of the top findings of the closely watched social and economic barometer otherwise known as the HILDA.

The Household Income and Labour Dynamics Survey out today covers 17-thousand Australians looking at income, employment, health and education over the participants' lifetimes.

I spoke on AM with the report's co-author Professor Roger Wilkins from the Melbourne Institute.
