Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Why no UK data?
Because the UK do not provide data to Eurostat, they usual just collect data from national statistic institutes. Furthermore, GB is neither a member of the EU nor the EFTA.
I read this kind of comment not the first time, and it annoys me a bit. It sounds almost always like an accusation, that the statistics is wrong, or someone likes to bully especially the UK.
The one to blame here are the British people and the British government, because they are responsible for their policies and politics and BREXIT.
The UK likes to cook their own soup, which they keep repeating very often in the last few yearsβ¦
But I guess there is data available somewhere maybe one creates a map especially for the UK.

seems to be an EU survey not a Europe survey
Then why are Switzerland and Norway there?
Good point, amendment: Seems to be a EU + EFTA (European Free Trade Agreement) survey not a Europe survey
