Eurostat published the results of the survey studying the living conditions across European Union. The numbers are a couple of years outdated, but I don’t think things have changed dramatically during this time.
Cross-country comparisons (see FigureĀ 5) reveal that in 2016 more than half of the population in Croatia (51.4Ā %) and Cyprus (59.8Ā %) reported having difficulty or great difficulty in making ends meet, while this share rose to more than three fifths of the population in Bulgaria (61.7Ā %) and to more than three quarters of the population in Greece (76.8Ā %); more than half the populations of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (55.5Ā %; 2015 data) and Serbia (63.9Ā %) also faced difficulty or great difficulty in making ends meet.
On the other hand, less than 1 in 10 persons in Sweden (7.6Ā %), Germany (6.9Ā %) and Finland (also 6.9Ā %) reported facing difficulty or great difficulty in making ends meet; this was also the case in Norway (5.4Ā %).
