Method & sources

Rough orientation points from public statistics, cited per section. Net worth & participation: ECB HFCS Wave 2021. Saving rate & allocation: Eurostat 2024. US: Fed SCF 2022 / FRED / Fed Z.1. Cross-country comparison should be read with care (methodological differences). US saving rate uses a different definition than Eurostat.
