Regional factors: Employment, participation and ageing
Employment rates, participation rates and age activity rates influence regional performance. High growth in employment rates may be due to higher skill levels or to greater efficiency of the local labour market. Both can be regarded as resulting from regional assets: skills can be upgraded through training and education, and changes in employment regulations and active labour market programs can increase the regional labour market efficiency.
