” A family is two earning parents, both making exactly the average wage, with two dependent children.”
OK, but why?
seems unlikely that the average family has two adults, both of which work full time with two dependent children.
so it’s the average income of a made up european family, not the average income of the average european family.
could just label the chart as “twice the average income of a european adult”

MEDIAN Swiss household income is like 85k CHF.
This seems to be 2x MEAN individual income, which is A) wrong because not many families with kids have 2x 100% incomes, and B) highly misleading because the MEAN is heavily skewed by high earners.
