Ireland and Romania rank among the most generous countries in Europe, according to a recent report on solidarity and giving in the European continent. The study evaluates several European countries to determine which are the most supportive in terms of giving behaviour.
The report analyses two main criteria to make this assessment. On one hand, it measures the percentage of donors in each country, that is, the proportion of citizens who make donations. On the other hand, it evaluates the share of income that donors offer, considering the proportion of their earnings that they allocate to charitable causes.
These two indicators enable a more comprehensive analysis of each country's level of generosity, as they consider both the widespread citizen participation and the individual effort of those who donate. The combination of these data reveals which European nations stand out in supporting social and humanitarian causes.
The report thus provides a comparative perspective on solidarity in Europe, identifying the countries where the giving culture is most deeply rooted and where citizens make a more significant financial effort to support others.
