The thematic content of this year's edition follows the last edition, being organized in 26 sub chapters grouped into four main chapters - The Territory, The People, The Economic Activity and The State. Each sub chapter starts with a key indicators table, which enables the reader to see, at a glance, the main territorial trends relating to the different topics.
In the 2015 edition, the Regional Statistical Yearbooks are, for the first time, based on the new Common Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS 2013).
Tables are presented in a bilingual format (Portuguese and English) and the respective links for the Statistics Portugal’s online Data Basis (www.ine.pt) are made available, following the geographic breakdown of the information provided.
