> In some countries, the increase has been more pronounced, exceeding 5%. Between 2002 and 2022, Ireland saw the most significant rise, with a staggering increase of 7.1%, followed by Spain and Italy with increases of 6.3% and 5.4%, respectively.
Almost a whole percent higher than 2nd place, and more than double the EU average of 3%.
