The report on The social situation in the European Union is published annually by the Directorate General of Employment, Social Affairs & Equal Opportunities and EUROSTAT. It deals with the quality of life of people living in Europe and provides a holistic view of the population and its social conditions as a background to social policy development.

The Report provides a review of population trends, living conditions and social cohesion in the European Union, focusing on a policy relevant theme each year. The special topic in this edition is: 'New insights into social inclusion'.
