How many children live in the European Union (EU)? And how has their share in the population evolved and is expected to change in the future? Are the youngest children in your country cared for more often by their parents, relatives, a child-minder or through a day-care centre? How do young people make the switch from school to work?
How are they affected by information and communication technologies in their everyday lives? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in the flagship publication1 “Being young in Europe today” issued by Eurostat.
