Living conditions in Europe. Statistical pocketbook – data 1998-2002. 2003 edition

The aim of the 2003 edition of this statistical pocketbook is to provide a comprehensive picture of the current living conditions in the fifteen old Member States of the European Union as well as in the four EFTA countries where information is available. Data are drawn from a wide range of harmonised sources available in Eurostat, such as the European Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). Different areas of the social field are described by a selection of indicators which are presented in tables and charts and accompanied by a short commentary.
