Desemprego nas regiões europeias

Segundo o Inforegio, "Regional disparities in unemployment among the EU-27 regions remain high. One region in three has an unemployment rate above 10%, while four regions in five had to face an increase in unemployment rates between 2007 and 2010. The highest rates are registered in regions of France (overseas departments) and Spain. Most of the 26 regions with unemployment rates over 15% can be found in these two, as well as in Slovakia and in the Baltic States. In contrast, 34 regions mainly located in Austria, Germany, northern Italy and the Netherlands have unemployment rates below 5%. The regions in which the unemployment rates decreased the most between 2007 and 2010 are, with the exception of Corsica, German Landers. Unemployment rates dropped also in some regions of France, Poland, Austria and UK. On the other side, several regions in Spain, Ireland, Baltic States and Greece witnessed a substantial increase in the unemployment rates".

Europa: disparidades no desemprego reghonal

O Eurostat publicou hoje o "Regional labour market disparities are narrowing", segundo o qual "the latest estimates for 2006 show that levels of regional disparities in employment and unemployment have been narrowing over the last five years. Notwithstanding these general labour market improvements, almost 20% of the EU-27 active population is still living in underperforming regions as regards unemployment. This short publication analyses the two kinds of regional labour market disparity indicators: the dispersion of employment and unemployment rates and the index of underperforming regions". Aqui
