Публикация представляет собой попытку нарисовать портрет
молодых людей, живущих в Европе. "Молодежь в Европе" основывается
на данных, имеющихся на уровне ЕС, и использует широкий набор унифицированных
источников данных, имеющихся в Евростате. Читатель найдет много
статистической информации по широкому кругу вопросов, касающихся
молодежи в Европе, в том числе данные о демографических аспектах
(старение населения, создание семьи), здравоохранении и жилищных
условиях, образовании и начале трудовой жизни, участии в культурной
и социальной деятельности. Представлены статистические таблицы и
графики с их анализом.
Судя по данным, представленным в издании, положение
молодежи в разных странах ЕС существенно различается что может быть
объяснено целым рядом культурных, социальных и экономических факторов.
Публикация призвана способствовать дальнейшему росту интереса к
исследованиям увлекательного мира молодежи, с тем чтобы лучше понять
сегодняшнюю и завтрашнюю Европу.
