This new publication issued by Eurostat examines the incomes and living standards of the people of Europe. Its findings are based on data taken from the EU-SILC survey. Each section looks at how the workers of Europe earn their living, about the living arrangements of Europeans, about their social participation, and about the ways in which their incomes are affected by taxes and transfers. It also addresses many of the social issues confronting Europe. How much income poverty is there in Europe? Is inequality increasing? Does a job guarantee escape from income poverty? How is Europe's welfare state coping with the economic crisis?
Read Tracey’s post (with useful abstract of main findings) here and the full report (seems to be 418pp + intro and covers (my PDF reader wouldn’t produce a page count)) here.
