There are very easy ways to see how countries are treating the average citizens.

Take GDP per Capita. Deduct, inflation, Debt per capita and the share the top 20% are taking. The results are most people are worse off than they were and there's no sign of any change and a lot of signs of things getting worse.

At the moment the EU has no intentions of stopping mass migration from very poor countries outside the EU. this will reduce earnings and increase the need for more people to need benefits.

It has no intentions of balancing trade with Third World Nations that are taking jobs from EU workers.

As Automation also takes more jobs, where will the money come from the pay for the benefits of the growing numbers who will need them?

Will the rich be rich enough and willing to pay high enough taxes to subsidise the needy?
