[DISCONTINUED] Dispersion of regional employment rates, by sex
Publisher
Description
The product has been discontinued since: 25 Jan 2018.
The dispersion of regional (NUTS level 2) employment rates of the age group 15-64 shows the regional differences in employment within countries and groups of countries (EU25, euro area). The employment rate of the age group 15-64 represents employed persons aged 15-64 as a percentage of the population of the same age group. The dispersion of regional employment rates is zero when the employment rates in all regions are identical, and it will rise if there is an increase in the differences between employment rates among regions. The indicator is not applicable for DK, IE, LU, CY, EE, LT, LV, MT, SI or IS as these countries comprise only one or (in the case of IE) two NUTS level 2 regions. However, the employment rates of these countries and of the two Irish regions are used to compute the dispersion of regional employment rates for groups of countries. Regional employment rates represent annual average figures and are taken from the European Union Labour Force Survey.
