Tick indicators to compare Latvia with other countries.

30 indicators. Change is a percent change for totals and levels, and a difference in points or units for rates and shares. "Among countries" ranks Latvia against every country with a figure for the same year (1 is the highest value, which is not always the best). In the strip each tick is a country, the dot is Latvia, the taller gray tick is the world, and the faint rules are the quartile cuts. "Coverage" shows which countries have figures for which years.
