Flanders in Figures
This brochure gives a concise picture of Flanders on the basis of a limited set of Flemish public statistics. The statistics cover a wide range of themes and were grouped into four main components: population and society, economy and enterprises, space and living environment and government and governance. In the end, a brief comparison of the Flemish data with the situation in Belgium and the rest of the European Union was added.
Flanders: part of a federal state
Belgium is a federal state
Six state reforms (1970, 1980, 1988-89, 1993, 2001 and 2014) have transformed unitary Belgium into a federal state consisting of two types of federated states: Communities and Regions. There are three Communities: the Flemish Community (including the Dutch-speaking inhabitants of the Brussels-Capital region), the French Community (including the French-speaking inhabitants of the Brussels-Capital region) and the German-speaking Community. Besides there are three Regions: the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region.
