Official Statistics, a Window for Understanding Society

On the European Statistics Day, which is celebrated every year on 20 October, this year's motto is Official Statistics, a Window for Understanding Society. Official statistics are a key source of data that help us to better understand social processes and changes. Through collected and analysed data, we gain insights into various aspects of life, from the economy, education, and labour markets to demographic trends. This year’s motto emphasizes the importance of monitoring these social phenomena, as this enables us to make more informed decisions, both personally and at the national level. In this way, we can identify social challenges as well as opportunities for development and progress.

This day is also an opportunity to raise awareness among the general and professional public about the importance of official statistics as a basis for informing and decision-making. With this publication, we want to highlight that statistical data are not only useful but also interesting and accessible to everyone.

EU Countries Interactively

The publication provides an overview of data on all 27 EU Member States across selected thematic areas, covering population, education, labour market, quality of life, and housing. The data are presented in charts and maps, and are accompanied by commentary. The source is official Eurostat data. In this publication, we aim to show the diversity among Member States, to highlight their specific characteristics, and to place Slovenia within this comparative context.

Hovering over the flag icon on the map below will show the data for which the Member State you selected stands out. Unless stated otherwise, the data refer to 2023. More data and the full picture can be found in the publication. You are very welcome to take a look.
