Srbiju, zajedno sa državama iz komšiluka, odlikuje nizak indeks troškova života, niska kupovna moć, i osrednji nivo kvaliteta života, u poređenju sa razvijenim državama. Kovid-19 pandemija doprinela je da se taj jaz u prethodnoj godini dodatno produbi.
Ceo ovaj prostor odlikuju niski ili veoma niski troškovi života. Brojke ne ulivaju nadu ni u članicama EU, koje imaju nešto povoljniji kvalitet života i viši nivo BDP po glavi stanovnika. Najskuplji život je u članicama EU, Sloveniji, Hrvatskoj, i Mađarskoj. Ostale države imaju veoma niske troškove života, čak i Rumunuija i Bugarska (članice EU). Kupovna moć je veoma niska naročito kod država koje nisu članice EU. Kvalitet života najnepovoljniji je u Albaniji, Severnoj Makedoniji i Srbiji, dok Slovenija dominira.
Indeks troškova života pokazuje da su cena robe široke potrošnje, uključujući namirnice, restorane, prevoz i komunalije, a bez troškova smeštaja (kirija ili hipoteka), daleko niže od cena u bogatim gradovima (Njujorka). Navedeni podaci pokazuju da niskim troškovima života odgovaraju isto tako niska kupovna moć stanovništva, jer prosečnom zaradom ne mogu da priušte u proseku jedva 50% roba i usluga od stanovnika Njujorka sa prosečnom platom. Životni standard je posebno nizak kod država ne članica EU. Kvalitet života, koji se razlikuje od države do države, odražava kompleksan obuhvat kupovne moći, zagađenja, cene nekretnina i zarade, troškova života, bezbednosti, zdravstvene zaštite, vremena putovanja na posao i klime.

Serbia, along with the surrounding countries, is characterized by a low cost of living index, low purchasing power, a mediocre level of quality of life compared to developed countries. The Kovid-19 pandemic contributed to a further widening of that gap in the previous year.
This whole area is characterized by low or very low cost of living. The figures do not inspire hope in EU member states either, which have a somewhat more favorable quality of life and a higher level of GDP per capita. The most expensive life is in EU member states, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. Other countries have very low living costs, even Romania and Bulgaria (EU members). Purchasing power is very low, especially in non-EU countries. Quality of life is most unfavorable in Albania, Northern Macedonia and Serbia, while Slovenia dominates.
The cost of living index shows that the prices of consumer goods, including groceries, restaurants, transportation and utilities, and without the cost of accommodation (rent or mortgage), are far lower than the prices in rich cities (New York). These data show that the low cost of living corresponds to the low purchasing power of the population, because the average salary cannot afford, on average, barely 50% of the goods and services of New Yorkers with an average salary. The standard of living is particularly low in non-EU countries. The quality of life, which varies from country to country, reflects the complex coverage of purchasing power, pollution, real estate prices and earnings, living costs, security, health care, travel time to work and climate.
