Let’s celebrate European Statistics Day today with some interesting figures. In 2020, there were 97 300 mathematicians, actuaries and statisticians employed in the EU, the equivalent of almost 22 professionals per 100 000 people. This of course includes the statisticians who calculated this number! More interesting figures on statisticians in the EU can be found in the article ‘European Statistics Day is our day!’
This day is celebrated by the national statistical authorities of all the EU Member States, EFTA countries and Eurostat, forming a partnership called the European Statistical System (ESS). Together, we develop, produce and disseminate European statistics.
To mark the occasion, we are holding an open day in the form of a webinar today from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM CET. The open day will feature an overview of official statistics published by Eurostat as well as recent initiatives. You can send your questions via Slido.
Furthermore, we published the 2021 edition of 'Key figures on Europe' in two other languages: German and French. You can also go and read the English version.
With intuitive visualisations, innovative data presentations and concise text, this publication provides an overview of the current situation and recent developments across the EU. The publication offers insights regarding people and society, the economy and business, and the environment and natural resources.
Do you want to have a quick and interactive overview of key aspects of the situation of your country? Do you want to compare your country to others?
‘Key figures on Europe’ are also available in an interactive format.
The different visualisation tools offer you an engaging way to dig into selected indicators.
