Eurostat regional yearbook : 2025 edition

The 2025 Eurostat regional yearbook transforms statistical data into clear, engaging narratives. By providing reliable and accessible information, it empowers decision makers to craft thoughtful strategies that bridge regional divides, drive inclusive growth and enhance the quality of life across Europe. The yearbook is also a valuable resource for researchers and students in their enquiries and investigations - and generally for all those who are curious to learn more about Europe's regions. The Eurostat regional yearbook 2025 provides a detailed picture relating to a broad range of statistical topics across the regions of the EU, EFTA and candidate countries. Regional data are presented using the classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS), which was recently updated - NUTS 2024. It delineates 92 regions at NUTS level 1, 244 regions at NUTS level 2, and 1 165 regions at NUTS level 3. Each chapter presents statistical information in the form of maps, figures and infographics, accompanied by a descriptive analysis highlighting the main findings. Regional indicators are presented for the following 13 subjects: population, health, education, the labour market, living conditions, the digital society, the economy, business, research and development, tourism, transport, the environment and agriculture.
