The publication contains a rich set of data characterising the standard of living of population and the state of economy of the Voivodship grouped in 21 thematic areas. This year’s elaboration differs from the previous one – we have decided against including the chapter “Prices” in this publication, instead we have selected certain issues from this thematic area and published them in a chapter entitled “Trade. Prices.” Rounding off the publication, there are two review tables with major data on the Voivodship in the years 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2020 together with certain information regarding the Voivodship in 2020 against the background of the country. Data in this publication are presented in statistical tables as well as in maps and charts. The statistical content is complemented with general notes containing explanations regarding terminology, methodology, and the scope of information in this elaboration.
