Hi @TonEdi - proud to be a former 'Austrian' - last on the list - only 3% of population below poverty line - even less than Switzerland or Germany. I wasn't aware of that, was aware of their relatively high standard of living and general security re health and unemployment benefits etc.
Can these statistics be trusted?
But how does that explain Ukraine's 4 % - whose economy has been - apparently - down the chute? The EU has refused their applications for membership because the impression is that it will just be another country suckling at the breast of the ever-giving EU, like so many of its Eastern European neighbours have been doing?
