Both publications explore aspects such as education and training, labour market, digitalisation, economy, demography, and quality of life, providing detailed statistics and drawing comparisons between EU Member States.
The Rural Europe and Urban Europe online publications intend to build a solid knowledge base of socioeconomic conditions to analyse a broad range of issues impacting rural, intermediate and urban areas across the EU.
