Is Greece catching up with Europe?

Each measure uses its own latest year. See Greece among the same reporting countries at each checkpoint. Lower-is-better measures are ranked from the best end.

2008 / 2009 → 2019 → latest per measure
● Favourable● Unfavourable● Context dependent / unassessed

A coloured dot marks Greece; grey dots are other countries. Each dot’s colour compares Greece with that checkpoint’s country median. The row edge shows the latest position. Change has its own label; a negative number can be favourable. Each strip shows position, not distance in units.

2009 is explicitly used for employment and youth unemployment because the selected source tables lack Greek 2008 observations. Country sets are fixed within a row and can differ across rows. Breaks and unapproved comparisons are explained separately. Relative-level snapshot differences across a break are labelled as such; they do not establish continuous growth.
