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.
