Memo: Social Situation Report and Eurobarometer social climate survey

The Social Situation Report is one of the Commission's main tools for monitoring developments in the social field across the EU Member States. The annual report aims to inform public debate on social policy by providing key data and in-depth analyses. It provides key indicators covering all social policy areas, most of which are derived from a major European survey on income and living conditions (EU-SILC). Each report analyses some specific issues in more detail; this year focussing on housing and on the economic crisis. In addition, this year’s report includes the results from a recent Eurobarometer survey about the social climate in the EU, containing questions about Europeans’ satisfaction with their lives, their countries and their public administrations and social services.
