European Mean Equivalised Net Income of Households Making Ends Meet with Great Difficulty Share by Country (Euros PPP)

The highest shares of households making ends meet with great difficulty are observed in Switzerland, Iceland, and Luxembourg, with Switzerland topping the list. Other countries like Germany and Norway follow closely. In contrast, Eastern European countries such as Macedonia and Serbia report lower percentages. Year-on-year, Romania saw the largest increase, reflecting significant economic challenges. Conversely, some countries experienced minimal changes, such as Sweden and Greece.

Future trends to watch for include potential economic shifts due to geopolitical tensions and policy changes in the European Union. Monitoring economic support measures in vulnerable regions should be prioritized to address disparities.
