A Report on the socio-economic situation of Wielkopolskie Voivodship in 2014 is the fourth edition of the publication compiled to present a comprehensive overview of annual statistical data about the voivodship. Using figures, charts, choropleth maps and analytic commentary, the report provides a snapshot of the socio-economic situation in Wielkopolskie Voivodship, including processes and trends observed over the year.

The report is divided into 12 thematic chapters: population, labour market, wages and salaries, social benefits, prices, agriculture, industry, construction, residential construction, internal market, financial results of non-financial enterprises and investment outlays. In addition, to provide the wider context of the situation in Wielkopolskie Voivodship data are compared with those for the whole country and other voivodships. Data on selected phenomena are also presented for the voivodship capital. All the economic data, grouped by activity type, are presented according to the Polish Classification of Activity (PKD 2007).

The annual release of the Report has become a permanent fixture on the publication calendar of the Statistical Office in Poznań, satisfying the interest of data users and serving a valuable source of information about the level of economic development in Wielkopolskie Voivodship. I hope that the current edition will also meet with positive reception.
