1. EDUCATION, SKILLS AND LIFELONG LEARNING
EARLY LEAVERS FROM EDUCATION AND TRAINING (% OF POPULATION AGED 18-24)
Description:
Early leaver from education and
training refers to a person aged 18 to 24 who has
completed at most lower secondary education and
is not involved in further education or training. The
indicator is expressed as a percentage of the total
population aged 18 to 24.
Highlights:
In the EU, the share of early leavers
from education and training has been falling
continuously since 2005. Despite improvements
in some southern EU Member States, disparities
across EU Member States persist up to now
(ranging from 2.8% in Croatia to 19.7 in Malta,
2016).

2. GENDER EQUALITY IN THE LABOUR MARKET
GENDER EMPLOYMENT GAP
Description:
Difference in the employment rates
between men and women aged 20-64.
Highlights:
The reduction of the gender
employment gap seems to be on the right track.
On average in the EU, this difference decreased
from 15.9% in 2005 to 11.6% in 2016. Yet, the
declining trend in the gender employment gap in
recent years is to some extent due to a decreasing
employment of men (unfavourable development);
and not only due to an increasing employment
rate of women (favourable development). In 2016,
gender employment gaps range from 1.9% in
Lithuania to 27.7% in Malta.

3. INEQUALITY AND UPWARD MOBILITY
INCOME INEQUALITY MEASURED BY THE QUINTILE SHARE RATIO (S80/S20)
Description:
The income quintile share ratio or
S80/S20 ratio is a measure of the inequality of
income distribution. It is calculated as the ratio of
total income received by the 20% of the population
with the highest income (top quintile) to that
received by the 20% of the population with the
lowest income (lowest quintile).
Highlights:
The inequality of income distribution
in the EU has increased slightly since 2010, with
the richest 20% of the population earning about
five times more than the poorest 20%. Additional
efforts need to be done to bridge the gap between
the “haves” and the “have nots”. Considerable
differences are found between Member States,
with the income quintile share ratio ranging
in 2016 from 7.9 in Bulgaria to 3.5 the Czech
Republic.

4. LIVING CONDITIONS AND POVERTY
PEOPLE AT RISK OF POVERTY OR SOCIAL EXCLUSION (AROPE) (% OF TOTAL POPULATION)
Description:
People are considered to be at risk
of poverty or social exclusion if they experience
one or more of the following three conditions:
• Being severely materially deprived–with living
conditions constrained by a lack of resources
as measured in terms of being deprived of four
of nine items: unable to afford 1) to pay rent/
mortgage or utility bills on time; 2) to keep their
home adequately warm; 3) to face unexpected
expenses; 4) to eat meat, fish or a protein
equivalent every second day; 5) a one week
holiday away from home; 6) a car, 7) a washing
machine, 8) a colour TV or 9) a telephone
(including mobile phone). This indicator captures
absolute poverty in some degree and is measured
in the same way in all Member States.
• Living in a jobless household or household with
very low work intensity–where on average those
of working-age (18–59) worked less than 20% of
their potential total working hours over the past
year, either because of not being employed or
working part-time rather than full-time (students
are excluded from the calculation).
• Being at risk of poverty–living in a household
with an ‘equivalised disposable income’
(equivalised means adjusted for the size and
composition of households) below the at-risk-
of-poverty threshold, set at 60% of the national
median equivalised disposable income.
This is a measure of relative poverty. The total
number of people at risk of poverty or social
exclusion is less than the sum of the numbers in
each category, as many fall into more than one of
these categories.
Highlights:
In 2016, one out of four people in
the EU is at risk of poverty or social exclusion.
A detailed look reveals that one third of young
people aged 18 to 24, one third of people with at
most lower secondary education, and two thirds
of unemployed people were at risk of poverty or
social exclusion.

share of the population aged 15 to 24 who are not
employed and not involved in education or training.
Highlights:
The share of young people neither
in employment nor in education and training
declined from 13.2% in 2012 to 11.6% in 2016.
Considerable differences are found between
Member States, with the NEET ranging in 2016
from 4.6 in the Netherlands to 19.9 in Italy.

6. LABOUR FORCE STRUCTURE
EMPLOYMENT RATE (% OF POPULATION AGED 20-64)
Description:
The employment rate is the
percentage of employed persons in relation to the
total population in the same age group.
Highlights:
For the first time since 2008, the
employment rate in the EU reached 70% for the
working age population (20 – 64 years) in 2015.
In 2016, modest or notable improvements in
the employment rates were recoded for most
Member States. The educational background has a
distinct influence on employability, as employment
rates are higher among highly-educated persons
compared to persons with lower education level.

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (% OF ACTIVE POPULATION AGED 15-74)
Description:
An unemployed person is defined as
someone without work during the reference week;
available to start work within the next two weeks
(or has already found a job to start within the next
three months); actively having sought employment
at some time during the last four weeks. The
unemployment rate is the number of unemployed
people expressed as a percentage of the total
labour force.
Highlights:
Unemployment rates differ widely
across EU Member States from 4.1% in Germany
to 23.6% in Greece, in 2016. Moreover, the
impact of the financial and economic crisis on
unemployment rates in the Member States has
also been heterogeneous, with some Member
States showing an increase and others a decrease
in their unemployment rate compared to their
pre-crisis situation. All EU Member States had
higher unemployment rates than Japan and higher
or similar unemployment rates to the United
States, in 2016.

7. LABOUR MARKET DYNAMICS
PARTICIPANTS IN ACTIVATION-SUPPORT — LABOUR MARKET POLICIES
PER 100 PERSONS WHO WANT TO WORK (TOTAL)
Description:
The share of participants to
activation –support- labour market policies per 100
persons who want to work. These labour market
policies cover interventions that provide temporary
support for groups that are disadvantaged in the
labour market and which aim at activating the
unemployed, helping people move from involuntary
inactivity into employment, or maintaining the jobs
of persons threatened by unemployment. Types
of intervention: training, employment incentives,
supported employment and rehabilitation, direct
job creation and start-up incentives.
Highlights:
In 2015, the number of participants
varied widely in the EU Member States, ranging
from less than 3% in Bulgaria to nearly 50% or
more in Belgium and Denmark. No data availability
for Estonia, Ireland, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Matla,
Poland and the United Kingdom.

8. INCOME, INCLUDING EMPLOYMENT-RELATED
REAL GROSS HOUSEHOLD DISPOSABLE INCOME (INDEX 2008=100)
Description:
The real adjusted gross disposable
income of households per capita in PPS (index
= 2008) is calculated as the adjusted gross
disposable income of households and Non-Profit
Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) divided
by the purchasing power parities (PPP) of the
actual individual consumption of households, by
the price deflator (price index) of household final
consumption expenditure and by the total resident
population. Then the indicator is indexed with base
year 2008.
Highlights:
Since 2005, the real gross household
disposable income has shown a mixed trend. In
2015, nine EU Member States - Greece, Cyprus,
Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Austria,
Portugal and Slovenia - had less real gross
household disposable income compared to 2008.

9. IMPACT OF PUBLIC POLICIES
ON REDUCING POVERTY
IMPACT OF SOCIAL TRANSFERS (OTHER THAN PENSIONS) ON POVERTY REDUCTION
Description:
Reduction in percentage of the risk
of poverty rate, due to social transfers (calculated
comparing at-risk-of-poverty rates before social
transfers with those after transfers).
Highlights:
in 2015, social transfers reduced the
share of people at risk of poverty in one third of its
original value (33.7%). This impact ranged widely
across Member States from 13.3 percentage points
in Romania to 55.0 percentage points in Ireland.

10. EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE
CHILDREN AGED LESS THAN 3 YEARS IN FORMAL CHILDCARE
Description:
Children cared for in formal child
care, expressed as a percentage of all children of
the same age group.
Highlights:
In 2015, the share of children aged
0-3 in formal childcare ranges widely across
Member States, from 1.1% in Slovakia to 77.3%
Denmark. In the long-run, investment in childcare
and pre-primary education offers higher returns
and is more likely to help children from low socio-
economic status.

11. HEALTHCARE
SELF-REPORTED UNMET NEED FOR MEDICAL CARE (% OF TOTAL POPULATION)
Description:
Self-reported unmet needs for
medical care concern a person’s own assessment
of whether he or she needed examination or
treatment for a specific type of health care, but
did not have it or did not seek it because of
the following three reasons: ‘Financial reasons’,
‘Waiting list’ and ‘Too far to travel’. The problems
that people report in obtaining care when they are
ill often reflect significant barriers to care. Medical
care refers to individual healthcare services
(medical examination or treatment excluding
dental care) provided by or under direct supervision
of medical doctors or equivalent professions
according to national healthcare systems. Data are
collected from the ‘European Statistics of Income
and Living Condition’ survey and refer to such
needs during the previous 12 months. Data are
expressed as percentages within the population
aged 16 years old and over living in private
households.
Highlights:
The share of the population reporting
that they are not able to meet their medical needs,
in particular for financial reasons, showed an
increasing trend after the crisis. On average across
EU countries, four times more people in low income
groups reported unmet medical needs for financial,
geographic or waiting time reasons as did people
in high income groups (6.4% versus 1.5%).The
main reason for people in low income groups to
report unmet health care needs was that care was
too expensive. Any increase in unmet care needs,
particularly among people with low income, may
result in poorer health status for the population
affected and increase health inequalities. In 2015,
the share of the population reporting that they are
not able to meet their medical needs ranged from
merely 0.1% in Austria and the Netherlands to
more than 10% in Greece and in Estonia.

12. DIGITAL ACCESS
INDIVIDUALS’ LEVEL OF DIGITAL SKILLS
Description:
Share of people with either basic
or above basic overall digital skills expressed as a
percentage of the population aged 16-74 years.
Highlights:
Digital skills are central to a
knowledge based economy and increasingly
important in daily life. However, the level of digital
skills of the EU population seems insufficient. In
2016, 44% of the EU population did not have basic
digital skills.
