New Eurofound analysis shows #minimumwage earners spend an average of 34.8% of their disposable income on #housing, compared to 26.2% for higher earners. This disparity is even more pronounced for young workers. 

Nearly half (48.9%) of young minimum wage earners live with their parents, compared to only 29.1% of their better-paid peers.

This implies that current minimum wage levels are insufficient to support independent living for many young people.

The Physical Environment Index measures exposure to physical risks (e.g., extreme temperatures, noise, chemical or infectious substances, smoke, fumes) and physical demands (e.g., tiring or painful positions, carrying or moving loads, repetitive movements).

Over the past two decades, the Physical Environment Index has shown consistent improvement for both men and women, and the gender gap narrowed from around 7 points in 2005 to less than 5 points in 2024.
