Main statistical findings
The employment rate in Belgium has remained stagnant at about 67 % since the onset of the economic crisis in 2008. Although still at distance from its national targets, Belgium performed slightly better than the EU average in terms of reducing early leaving from education and training rates and increasing tertiary education levels and R&D intensity. The 25 % gap to its poverty target reflects recent increases in poverty rates. Despite the rapid uptake of renewable energy, from 2.3 % of gross final energy consumption in 2005 to 4.1 % in 2011, Belgium still lagged far behind its target. Furthermore, stronger progress than in the other Member States is needed if Belgium is to fulfil its GHG emissions commitments, as in 2010 Belgium was the country with the largest distance to its national target.
