This time I’ve attempted to directly quantify the cost of living to income ratio in different countries. As the note states, this doesn’t factor in anything that the state might provide for free, or that people in those countries might typically self-produce. So it’s not a reliable indicator for very poor countries or those with extensive government programs covering basic needs. However, it does give an idea of “how much better off” people might be in a country versus another, at least for the higher and middle income ones.
