This text is the Europe volume in an international series on income, wealth, consumption, well-being, & inequality. It focuses on the European Union (EU) & its member countries & other European countries that are in close association with it. The book provides an overview of economic & social trends in the countries & in country groupings. It takes the long-term process of European integration as a starting point. It addresses policy areas pertaining to certain aspects of inequality & the European social model in thematic chapters. It makes a specific point to look at the EU not as a conglomerate of individual countries but as an economic & political entity whose parts are closely interlinked politically & economically. It considers commonalities & differences in institutions & policies as they might impact the situation not just in one country but in the Union as a whole.
