In short

  • Among the 36 countries with a value for 2025, the highest is Ireland (99.3%) and the lowest Croatia (82.6%).
  • Half of the countries are above 89.1% and half below.
  • From 2024 to 2025 the value rose in 31 countries and fell in 4.
  • The figure for the European Union was 89.5% in 2025, against 79.7% in 2020 (+9.9 percentage points). The source marks a break in the series during this period, so part of the change may come from a change in method.
