The Statistical Office in Łódź is pleased to present the next newest edition of the Statistical Yearbook of the Łódzkie Voivodship – one of the most important position in Editorial Title-Plan. Publication which as in previous years, is edited in Polish-English version and contains the wide set of statistical information characterizing the living standards of inhabitants and the economic potential of the voivodship as well as state of the environment.

Each chapter is preceded by the explanatory notes on terminology and methodology. The information has been supplemented with graphs concerning selected phenomena.
