Regional progress of the Lisbon Strategy objectives in the European Region

Abstract

The conference held in Lisbon in March 2000 set as a target to make the EU the most competitive and most dynamically growing region of the world. My aim was to analyse the correlation between education and the labour market features in each country, and based on these correlations to investigate how the situation of each country, region and units evolved. Not only with EU-states were dealt with in the analysis, but also with candidate countries. The analysis contained statistic methods.
