What the data shows
The unweighted country mean is 87.9%, compared with a median of 94.6%. Each reporting country has equal weight; this is not a population-weighted or regional aggregate. The gap between the two highest observed values is 0 percentage points. These comparisons describe the observations and do not establish causes.
