Smarter, greener, more inclusive? : indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy : 2016 edition

The 2016 edition of 'Smarter, greener, more inclusive? - Indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy' continues the series of Eurostat flagship publications providing statistical analyses related to important European Commission policy frameworks and relevant economic, social and environmental phenomena. This publication supports the Europe 2020 strategy by monitoring progress towards the targets and goals defined under the three mutually reinforcing priorities of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The analysis in this publication is based on the Europe 2020 headline indicators chosen to monitor progress towards the strategy's targets. Other indicators focusing on specific subgroups of society or on related contextual issues are also used to deepen the analysis and present a broader picture. The publication presents official statistics produced by the European Statistical System and disseminated by Eurostat. The updated 2016 edition covers the period from 2002 or 2008 up to the most recent year for which data are available (2014 or 2015).
