Updated 12/06/2024 The use of solid fossil fuels in the EU has been declining steadily for years. Perhaps, due to high CO2 prices (see EU emission trading scheme), many Member States have been reducing their use of coal for electricity generation. The monthly figures for hard coal used in power and heat generation have been decreasing gradually. Figure 1 shows that as of June till the end of the year (2023) the monthly amounts of coal used for electricity generation were the lowest in the last 5 years. Figure 2 shows the monthly shares of coal used for electricity generation in the EU expressed as a percentage of total coal consumption. When adding the monthly figures to give an annual percentage of coal use for electricity generation, in the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 it dropped from 47.1 %, to 44.6 % and increased to 45.8 %. Some of the highest percentages of consumption of hard coal in electricity generation were seen in 2022 where the figure for the year rose to 52.7 %, but it fell again in 2023 to 47.5 %, thus remaining above its share in 2019.

Updated 12/06/2024 In the EU, the labour force participation and employment rates of native-born persons with one foreign-born parent were marginally higher in 2023 than those of native-born persons with two native-born parents. For native-born persons with two foreign-born parents, these rates were somewhat lower. They were lower still for foreign-born persons.
The labour force participation rate ranged from 81.7 % among native-born persons with one foreign-born parent to 77.1 % for foreign-born persons. More ... Updated 12/06/2024 In the EU, 10.9 % of employees who were native-born persons with two native-born parents were employed with a contract of limited duration in 2023. This share was higher for foreign-born persons and for descendants of foreign-born persons, ranging from 13.9 % for native-born persons with one foreign-born parent to 17.2 % for foreign-born persons. More ... Updated 12/06/2024 More than one-fifth (22.4 %) of people living in households with dependent children in the EU were at risk of poverty or social exclusion which was slightly higher than the respective share among households without dependent children (20.4 %). Nevertheless, these rates varied considerably across the EU Member States. For people living in households with dependent children, the rate ranged from peaks of 34.2 % in Romania, 30.7 % in Spain and 30.3 % in Bulgaria down to 12.4 % in Czechia, 12.1 % in Finland and 9.6 % in Slovenia More ... |
