Learn about statistics, understand the world around you

 

Societies today are faced with misinformation and disinformation, declining trust in media and the groundbreaking impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on everyday life. Official statistics and statistical literacy are essential for navigating the world around us. 

To help you make sense of statistics, Eurostat’s Education Corner offers many resources tailored for teachers, students and all the inquisitive minds. With Statistics 4 beginners’ articles, you can learn about key statistical indicators, such as what is GDP and how to compare it among countries and population concepts. 

You can also explore and play with data with our interactive publications. These present short summaries of the key findings on specific topics, such as regions in Europe, demography, digitalisation, and energy, while showcasing dynamic visualisations. Furthermore, you can dive into our data visualisations and discover how your country compares with others in Europe.  

Our Statistical literacy newsletter is also an excellent way to keep up-to-date on the latest tools and resources from Eurostat and the statistical offices in EU countries. Sign up and receive it directly in your inbox. 

The recorded webinars “Unlocking informed decisions with high-quality statistics” and “Navigate European statistics with Eurostat” are a good option if you are looking for visual presentations with relevant information. Check our webinars page to find other recordings on a statistical topic that interests you.  

If you prefer to listen to a podcast, we have podcast episodes that delve into the importance of statistical literacy and how we promote it, fact-checking and trust in times of fake news, and how the European Statistics Competition empowers young people. 

In our ongoing efforts to promote statistical literacy among secondary school students, we have just launched the 9th edition of the European Statistics Competition, which we invite you to join. 

This news item marks Global Media and Information Literacy Week, observed from 24 to 31 October, to raise awareness and celebrate achievements in media and information literacy for all.

Statistics were always a cornerstone of the European project, starting with the creation of the statistics division of the Coal and Steel Community (ESCS) in 1952 and later with our predecessor, the Statistical Office of the European Communities (1958-1992). Since then, we have expanded our statistical coverage and diversified the channels to reach users. Our mission, however, remains ever evolving: to provide high-quality statistics and data on Europe. Our commitment reflects the dedication of all our colleagues, who work tirelessly to make numbers and data available and easily accessible, which helps everyone understand the world around them.

Data experts race to preserve US government statistics amid quiet purges

                                                After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. "There are trillions of bytes of data files, and I can't even imagine how many public dollars were spent to collect those data. ... But right now, they're sitting someplace that is inaccessible because there are no staff to appropriately manage those data," Jennifer Park, a study director for the Committee on National Statistics, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, said during the conference hosted by the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). Their goal is to make sure they are available in t...

Why are data nerds racing to save US government statistics ?

  The data nerds are fighting back. After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. Their goal is to make sure they are available in the future, believing that democracy suffers when policymakers don’t have reliable data and that national statistics should be above partisan politics. “There are such smart, passionate people who care deeply about not only the Census Bureau, but all the statistical agencies, and ensuring the integrity of the statistical system. And that gives me hope, even during these challenging times,” Mary Jo Mitchell, director of government and public affairs for the research nonprofit the Population Association of America, said this week during an online public data-users conference.
