What it means and what it does not
The comparison relies on a single harmonised ECLAC basis rather than individual national methodologies, so figures may differ from official domestic reports. The dataset includes only the 14 countries reporting 2025 figures, omitting those with data from earlier years. This indicator describes Costa Rica's position in a single year, without explaining its causes or establishing a long-term trend.
