This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).

The report compares immediate and longer-term direct results with outputs achieved in the YEI programmes. For example, the number of ‘unemployed participants who are in education/training, gain a qualification, or are in employment’’ is divided by the number of unemployed participants. The resulting percentage tells the share of participants who obtained a particular type of result, measured by a common indicator.

The report provides the success rates for all ESF operational programmes (CCIs) and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Data on ESF common result indicators are taken from Tables 2A and 2B; data on ESF common output indicators are taken from Table 4A of the annual implementation reports.
