Equivalised income adjusts household disposable income for household size and composition using the modified OECD scale, so the figure reflects typical per-person purchasing power rather than a raw household total."},{"question":"How does Greece's median income compare with the EU-27 average?","answer":"In 2025, Greece's median equivalised net income of roughly 11,700 EUR was about 51.0% of the EU-27 average of approximately 22,939 EUR, a gap of around 11,239 EUR. That ratio has typically stayed below the 2010 level, when Greece's income stood at roughly 82.4% of the EU-27 average — the gap widened sharply during the debt crisis and has only partly narrowed since."},{"question":"How has Greece's median income changed since 2010?","answer":"Greece's median equivalised net income fell from about 11,963 EUR in 2010 to a low of approximately 7,500 EUR in 2016 — a decline of roughly 37.3% — as the sovereign debt crisis and subsequent austerity measures compressed household incomes. Income has typically recovered since, rising to 11,700 EUR by 2025, a gain of about 56.0% from the 2016 trough, though it remains around 2.2% below its 2010 level in nominal terms."},{"question":"When did Greece's median income bottom out, and how sharp was the decline?","answer":"Greece's median equivalised net income fell in five of the six years from 2011 to 2016, dropping from 11,963 EUR in 2010 to 7,500 EUR in 2016 — declines of -8.2% in 2011, -13.4% in 2012, -12.0% in 2013, -8.3% in 2014, and -2.1% in 2015. The steepest single-year falls, in 2012 and 2013, likely reflect the depth of the Greek sovereign debt crisis and the wage and pension cuts implemented under the country's bailout programmes."},{"question":"Has Greece's income gap with the EU-27 average been narrowing in recent years?","answer":"Modestly, typically, since the mid-2010s. Greece's ratio to the EU-27 average bottomed near 46.7% in 2016–2017, then rose fairly steadily to reach 51.0% in 2025 — its highest point since 2014. That suggests Greece's income growth has outpaced the EU-27 average in most recent years, though the gap remains far wider than it was before the debt crisis began."}]}
