Latest source-dated evidence
These values are embedded in the page so readers and search engines can see the evidence without waiting for JavaScript. The live dashboard may retrieve a newer observation; the year beside each value remains authoritative.
What the available evidence suggests
The available homicide average is low relative to the global rate, while suicide is materially higher than homicide. Expression pressure is lower than the global aggregate. The child-employment feed is too sparse and old for a regional conclusion.
The most important limitation
The grouping covers 45 codes and gives each reporting country equal weight for non-official aggregates. It is not the European Union and is not population-weighted.
Define Europe before comparing it
The site’s Europe group contains 45 countries. Its 2023 homicide sample covers 33 of them, about 73.3%; the suicide series covers 40 in 2021, about 88.9%. The apparent difference in completeness is partly attached to different years and source systems, not just different social conditions.
This group should not be relabelled as the European Union. The carbon figure is an OWID regional aggregate, whose definition should be checked before it is compared with the site’s own arithmetic means. A useful comparison holds the membership list and reference year constant, identifies the missing countries and states whether people or countries receive equal weight.
Interpretation added 13 September 2026 using the dated snapshot above and, where named, the linked country profiles. Calculations are illustrative comparisons of those published values; underlying observations have not been refreshed in this edit.
How to read this profile
- Compare values only when units and definitions match.
- Keep the observation year beside every claim.
- Treat expert-coded expression data differently from administrative death statistics.
- Read consumption-based carbon in its original physical unit, independently of the other indicators.
- Never convert missing data into zero.
Source map
| Signal | Source | Interpretation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Suicide mortality | WHO via World Bank | Modelled population rate; reporting quality varies |
| Intentional homicide | UNODC via World Bank | Reported criminal homicide; coverage varies |
| Expression pressure | V-Dem via OWID | Expert-coded index transformed as (1 − value) × 100 |
| Child labour | ILO and UNICEF | Global and regional estimates cannot fill every country gap |
| Consumption CO₂ | Global Carbon Budget via OWID | Tonnes per person; interpreted separately |
