Praxis: Geography matters: The importance of sub-national perspectives on employment and skills
Praxis: Geography matters: The importance of sub-national perspectives on employment and skills
A sub-national perspective in employment and skills policy is an important complement to national and international analyses because, there are sub-national variations in employment structures and skills profiles; such that, economic opportunities and life chances vary across space – in a way that matters more for some people than for others, which in turn has led to a greater emphasis than formerly on policy making and delivery at sub–national level.
