| dc.description.abstract | In the hope of providing a more satisfactory response to the growing interest in demography, Eurostat presents its yearbook "Demographic Statìstica' in a new revised and enlarged form. The new presentation sets out the data in various demographic themes, which makes it easier to compare countries using the same indicator. In view of the impending Single Market in 1992, Eurostat has aimed at providing in this yearbook firm figures or estimates for the whole of the European Community. Two new chapters have been added, 'The Community and its regions"- which contains basic demographic indicators for the NUTS II regional level - and 'The European Community In the world", which gives an idea of the size and position of the Community on the world scale. The chapter headed "Mortality" is supplemented with data on the number of deaths by five-year age groups and statistics on deaths broken down by causes. Lastly, "Demographic Statistics 199CT is illustrated by some fifty graphs illustrating the main features of the Community population. In the following pages you will find some of the statistics presented in "Demographic Statistics 1990'. |
