How to read this table
Comparing Russia's indicators with other countries helps to understand how worker incomes change relative to global trends. The table provides an annual index showing the increase or decrease in real income compared to the previous year. Different countries are presented in separate rows to allow for easy tracking of each economy's long-term trajectory
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Lithuania (137.1), Poland (125.5), Belarus (115), Azerbaijan (113.6), Armenia (112.4). The top five account for 22.1% of the total sum across all positions
Observations are annual and cover 7 periods. Cells with numbers: 175 out of 175 (100%) — missing values are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
