# SET & VIZ: People living in households with very low work intensity in Europe (Eurostat, 2015-2019)

* Eurostat is a great stop for comparable aggregated data about housing in Europe.
* **This is a particular index that's very likely going to gain relevance as the economic consequences of the Covid-19 crisis keep unfolding: people living in households with very low work intensity in Europe.**
  * "The indicator is defined as the share of people aged 0-59 living in households with very low work intensity. These are households where on average the adults (aged 18-59, excluding students) work 20% or less of their total work potential during the past year. The indicator is part of the multidimensional poverty index."
* Looking at the 2019 data, we find that very interestingly the countries with a highest percentage of people living in households with very low work intensity are Greece (13.8%), Spain (10.8%) and then maybe surprisingly Finland (9.7%).

  The data for 2019 is incomplete, as it doesn't yet contain that of several countries, like Serbia and North Macedonia, which in 2018 had a higher percentage than Greece, and like Ireland, Belgium and Italy, which in 2018 had a higher percentage than Spain.
* But, still, it already offers interesting indications that could lead to research questions and to stories.
