| Omschrijving | The labour market is by definition a regional market because of the limitation of the daily commuting distance. In the Regional Labour Market Analysis module, first of all the general notions of the functioning of the labour market will be explained in terms of individual labour market decision, leading to aggregate supply and demand, investment in education, family policies and retirement decisions. Attention will also be paid to regional differences in the functioning of the labour market with regard to unemployment, employment, wages, labour market participation, labour productivity, education, etc. There will also be a focus on spatial interactions between and within regional labour markets through migration and commuting, as well as the possibilities and limitations of regional labour market policy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
