How to read this

Each value is the most recent figure the official statistics agency has published. Countries publish on different days, so periods can differ; the period column shows which month each value refers to.
Change is the difference from the previous period of the same series, in percentage points.
Definitions are not identical across countries (see the definition column). The table compares published headline figures; it is not a ranking of living standards.
