💼 Employment rate in the EU increased by >5% as of 2025

Employment in the European Union increased from 69.7% in 2016 to 76.2% in 2025, with steady growth. The rise reflects economic recovery, labour market reforms, and increased participation across member states. Following its consolidation to 27 countries after 2020, coordinated policies supported job creation and mobility. Expanding service sectors and digital employment also contributed to gains. The European Employment Strategy implemented by the European Commission promotes labour market integration and growth.

Environmental concern about tourism in the United Kingdom is highest among those aged 16-24 at 36%, and declines steadily among older groups. The pattern reflects stronger environmental awareness among Gen Z globally. Younger populations are more exposed to climate education, digital activism, and sustainability movements, shaping travel choices and expectations. This cohort increasingly prioritises eco-friendly tourism and low impact travel. The Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, supported by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, promotes sustainable travel practices worldwide.
