Interpreting Economic Indicators for Housing Affordability

Imagine a scenario where, over a five-year period, a country's average wage index rises by 30% while its house price index rises by 25%. Based on these figures alone, it can be concluded that housing has become less affordable for the average worker.

Match each economic scenario describing changes in house price and earnings indices with its most likely impact on housing affordability for the average worker.

In a specific housing market between 1998 and 2008, the index of house prices increased by approximately 200%, while the index of average earnings rose by 50%. This created an 'affordability gap' where house price growth outpaced earnings growth by ____ percentage points.
