Chart of the month December
On the occasion of World Soil Day, which is celebrated annually on 5 December, we are taking a look at the development of soil sealing in the Centrope countries. The chart shows an overall increase of sealed soil by 3.5 % from 2006 to 2018 in the EU-27 average. The development in Austria and Czechia is slightly better. Hungary's soil sealing increase follows the EU avarge, and Slovakia has a significantly higher level of soil sealing increase with almost 5 % from 2006 to 2018.

Chart of the month November
In keeping with the theme for November (World Children's Day), we want to take a look at the proportion of children (defined as those under the age of 18) who are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The data for the Centrope countries show a similar trend in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, which is also in line with the trend in the EU-27 as a whole. In Hungary, the proportion has been significantly higher in the past, levelling off around the EU average in 2018 and even falling below it at the beginning of the 2020s.

The United Nations celebrates World Children's Day on 20 November as International Children's Rights Day, the anniversary of the UN General Assembly's adoption of the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child; many countries have also adopted this date. On this occasion we take a look at the distribution of children (aged 14 or less) in the Centrope region. The map shows a remarkably high percentage of children in relation to the total population in the Bratislava region whereas Burgenland and the Hungarian part of Centrope have less children per total population. The situation in the Czech Republic is heterogeneous due to the small municipality size, but we can see a higher percentage of children in the greater metropolitan areas.

This time we are taking a look at the development of life expectancy in the Centrope countries. The timeline is similar for all of the four countries: Life expectancy is on the rise with a significant dip in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. This dip was less pronounced in Austria, where also the general level of life expectancy is higher, followed by Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.
