Field notes
The calculation uses average rent for a one-bedroom flat in the city centre against average take-home salary, and presents the result as a monthly work calendar. Its comparison covers 25 European cities. A separate Lisbon example cites ETUC analysis: an average two-bedroom rent is 168% of gross minimum wage, and a month's rent takes 52 days of work. The page explicitly warns that averages conceal the most difficult cases.
