Wages determinants in the European Union — Evidence from Structure of Earnings Survey (SES 2014) data — 2020 edition
This publication analyses the impact of the different characteristics of the employee (age, occupation, etc.) and of its employer (industry, size) on wages, throughout the European Union. The study is based on regression techniques applied on microdata taken from the Structure of Earnings Survey 2014, which gathers harmonized information from 240 000 enterprises and 11 million employees working across the 27 Member States. Regression coefficients provide information on how the different labour markets reward the different characteristics of the job tenant and how the different types of businesses compete in terms of wages offered to their employees. By crossing job characteristics with sex, this analysis also sheds light on possible gaps between the financial returns on education, part-time work etc. offered to men versus women. [+]

How many women and men of your age were born in the country they currently live in? How many of them are employed? In what type of building do they live? Find out with our interactive visualisation tool “You in the EU”. The tool provides you with the possibility to compare various aspects of your way of life not only with men and women of your age in your country, but also with the EU27 average and other EU Member States. “You in the EU” consists of quiz-like questions about the life of European citizens on 3 different themes: me & my life, me & my living conditions and me & my work. Before you start, you have to select your country, your gender and your age group, which will be used as a basis for comparison.
Have fun comparing the way of life in the EU 27 (also available in French and German).

New Eurostat visualisation tool for the circular economy
The transition towards a circular economy is not just about recycling more. The circular economy is a cross-cutting issue covering how we produce and use energy, emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants to the air, food intake and food waste, and accumulation of material stocks in our society, among other things.
Eurostat is publishing a new experimental interactive visualisation tool for the circular economy: the Sankey diagram of material flows. We invite you to play around and explore material flows by country, year and material type. Discover what happens to the materials you use or discard every day. The diagram is now interactive and includes new features, such as time graphs, pie charts and animations where you can visualise the changes over time. You can display or hide data values and labels, and choose between different units (tonnes per capita, billion tonnes, and other).
The diagram shows the flow of materials as they pass through the EU economy and are eventually discharged back into the environment or re-fed into economic processes. The green loop represents materials recovered from waste recycled and other waste reused. The diagram shows them to scale with other flows such as imports, natural resources extracted from the natural environment, exports, emissions to air (mostly from energy production), and more. [+]
