It's a bit like child poverty, which I've never understood, as a child is the responsibility of the parent(s). How do they glean these income figures? Via taxation? Surely not, as the richer you are, the more sophisticated (and shielded?) your financial affairs are.
Since leaving lower tier grammar school in '58, I flitted from job to job (as they grew on trees in those years) before entering teaching college at the age of 29. I then knew that I'd never be rich, barring a p.b. or lottery win. I've always adopted the mantra of 'it's not what you earn; it's what you spend'. I have never questioned my remuneration and have always been a saver; every little helps 'n' all that. Comfortable was the aim and I guess I've been lucky because that's what I felt two years ago when things were at least relatively consistent in the world.
