Nice page. I guess the actual numbers are way worse: For instance, in Germany ~34kEUR is the median gross income. The country has quite a high ratio on income tax and social insurance, making the net income typically in a regime of 30-60% of the gross income. Not to even start about living expenses and rent. Of course same applies for other countries. That's why I said things are even worse :)

Those figures for net income seem off, especially for something around 30k you're not going to pay that much.

Also I think that median income you cite is PPP, actual would be closer to 45k.
