The survey ran in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025 — annual from 2023 — so this is a short but fast-moving series and should be framed as a new annual indicator rather than as sparse data. It is published by Eurostat and updated annually."},{"question":"How current is this data?","answer":"The most recent observation covers 2025. Eurostat typically publishes this series with a lag of several months after the reference period.
