13. Focus on commuting patterns
Analyses commuting patterns between NUTS 2 regions, both from regions within the same country and cross-border commuting.
Commuting is defined as people travelling to work - at least once a week - from the region where they live (have permanent residence) to the region where they work according to the Labour Force Survey.
The chapter concludes with a socio-demographic analysis of commuters.

14. London has the highest number of inter-regional commuters in the EU

15. Luxembourg has the highest number of cross-border commuters in the EU

16. Socio-economic factors: Young, well-educated men working in the service sector tend to commute more regularly than other groups in the society.

17. Focus on regional population projections
The chapter is based on the Europop2013 population projections at regional level.
These results should not be seen as forecasts, but as ‘what-if’ scenarios which are based on a set of assumptions on future developments for fertility, mortality and net migration.
The data collection includes the period and all 28 Member States + Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
