Breakdown of Gender/Sex/Orientation Resilience Scores Across the EU
How to interpret scores: Countries with negative scores indicate that the country has below EU average scores across measures within a given resilience indicator group (i.e. it is less resilient on that indicator group than the EU average), while countries with positive scores indicate that the country has above EU average scores across measures within a given resilience indicator group (i.e. it is more resilient on that indicator group than the EU average). Please note that these are average scores. Therefore, countries may score above or below average on particular measures within an indicator group.
