1. This book is the "Europe" volume of the three-volume "World Historical Statistics," covering continuous statistical data on basic socio-economic indicators of all major European countries and political entities since 1750. Together with the "Asia, Africa, and Oceania" volume and the "Americas" volume, "World Historical Statistics" is a comprehensive compilation of detailed statistical data on regions, major countries, and political entities worldwide since modern times, continuing to the present. It is widely used in economic research, historical research, and international research, as well as all social sciences. Without a doubt, it will become an indispensable reference tool for researchers and learners in all social science disciplines.
2. The statistical indicators in "World Historical Statistics·Europe" are divided into ten major categories, which are:
A. Population and Vital Statistics
B. Labor
C. Agriculture
D. Industry
E. Foreign Trade
F. Transportation and Communication
G. Finance and Economics
H. Prices
I. Education
J. National Accounts
Under each major category, specific statistical indicators are further subdivided. For example:
- In addition to national population figures, there are statistics on regional population within the country;
- Statistical data on industrial and agricultural output are categorized by basic products;
- "Finance and Economics" includes the banking system and government taxes;
- "National Accounts" not only includes GDP of various countries but also the proportion of major industrial sectors in each country, as well as balance of payments data, etc.
In addition to these uniformly organized statistical data throughout the book, the editors have also supplemented reference data for certain countries or periods based on the latest statistical findings and research materials they have access to, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of relevant information.
