Research Guides: EUS 101: Introduction to European Studies: Data

In This Guide

This guide lists potential sources for country-level statistics for Europe.

Consider it a starting point; it is by no means a comprehensive list. An excellent place to look for statistics is on the websites of relevant IGOs. You may also find useful tables in related journal articles and books. Look for statistics that clearly indicate how the data were collected as well as the time period, geography, and measurements used.
