What the data shows
The unweighted country mean is 63.4%, compared with a median of 60.7%. Each reporting country has equal weight; this is not a population-weighted or regional aggregate. The gap between the two highest observed values is 25.7 percentage points. These comparisons describe the observations and do not establish causes.
