Comparing living and working conditions – Germany outperforms the United States
Although GDP per capita in the U.S. is 21 percent above Germany (2022), comparing living conditions with 80 indicators shows a score of 23:6 for Germany. Here, annual working time is much shorter, and in the areas of environment, health, individual and social security, and gender equity Germany is far ahead. In the U.S., individual consumption, housing and education score slightly better.
