The longest-running Eurostat publication is back! For 55 years, the Eurostat regional yearbook has been more than a collection of statistics. It’s a way of understanding the places people call home across the EU and a path to knowing the diverse realities of all our regions. Some are young and fast-growing, others are ageing. Some are centres of innovation and industry, others are leading the way in sustainability, tourism or agriculture.
The new edition covers regional data for 27 EU countries, 9 candidate and 4 EFTA countries, on people and society, economy and finance, also environment and natural resources. This year, it places a particular focus on landscape features and precision farming, diseases of the circulatory system, young people in the labour market, and housing.
In this publication, you will also find key indicators tracking the progress of the sustainable prosperity and competitiveness plan. These indicators feature their own icon next to maps, figures and infographics to help you discover how the regions are evolving on this topic. The Sustainable Development Goals icon will help you identifying related topics more effectively. (....)
