European Statistics Day: Get your facts straight with Eurofound

20 October is European Statistics Day, an initiative of the European Statistical Advisory Committee (ESAC) and with the support of the members of the European Statistical System and the European System of Central Banks.

Eurofound's role is to provide information, advice and expertise – on working conditions and sustainable work, industrial relations, labour market change and quality of life and public services – for key actors in the field of EU social policy on the basis of comparative information, research and analysis. Providing accurate and reliable information is at the core of what we do, and our unique added value, as defined by key stakeholders, lies in the provision of EU-wide comparative coverage and the reliability of the data provided.

Please find below an overview of the different data resources that we provide on living and working in Europe. For more in-depth information and analysis on trends in your country contact information@eurofound.europa.eu.
