The aim of the study is to describe the state and evolution of social inequalities in Europe showing trends during the economic crisis and the subsequent recovery years. A specific focus of the analysis is placed on the primary target group of UPLIFT project, the urban young population (those between 15 and 29 years of age). The analysis is performed at both the country and the regional level describing differences between regions and inequality within regions. Countries and regions are characterised by a set of indicators relating to inequality in the most important domains of well-being, like income and material living conditions, education, employment, labour market, housing and health. The authors of the study are our colleagues, Márton Medgyesi and Borbála Hegyi. Researchers of Uppsala University and the University of Tartu also contributed to the study. The leader of the UPLIFT consortium is the Metropolitan Research Institute.
