While often receiving the most attention, national figures alone cannot reveal the full and sometimes complex picture of what is happening within the EU Member States. The Covid-19 pandemic has further demonstrated the importance of regional data as its impact has varied significantly by region.

 

 

 

Today, Eurostat releases a package of publications presenting a wide range of regional indicators: 

 
The 2022 edition of the Eurostat regional yearbook provides a statistical overview of the regions of the EU across a broad range of subjects: population, health, education, the labour market, living conditions, the digital society, the economy, business, research and development, tourism, transport, the environment and agriculture. The data are brought to life in maps, figures and infographics, highlighting regional variations and similarities.

This year’s publication focuses on the European year of youth 2022 initiative, the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, cancer developments and water-related issues.
