But in many parts of Europe today, high unemployment (12% on average, 25% in the worst-affected countries), combined with austerity-induced cutbacks in social protection, has resulted in unprecedented increases in vulnerability. The implication is that the decrease in societal wellbeing may be far larger than that indicated by conventional GDP measures – numbers that already are bleak enough, with most countries showing that real (inflation-adjusted) per capita income is lower today than before the crisis – a lost half-decade.
但如今，在欧洲许多地区，高失业（平均12%，最严重的国家25%）加上紧缩造成的社会保障缩水导致了前所未有的脆弱性增加。这意味着社会福利的下降可能远比常规GDP指标所显示的严重——尽管GDP数字已经十分难看，表现最差的国家真实（经通胀调整的）人均收入还不如危机前——一个失去的五年。
