It is organised into two parts. The first is a narrative section, in which the EURO-PERISTAT indicators are described along with summary tables and graphs. The contributions of the three other projects are included here. The second section consists of complete data tables on the EURO-PERISTAT indicators.
The order of countries in this report follows guidelines established by the European Union.
Countries are listed alphabetically following their official names in their own languages (http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-370100.htm)
The EURO-PERISTAT indicators are presented by theme in the narrative section of this report:
Characteristics of the childbearing population

Within each chapter, core indicators are presented before recommended indicators.
