A munkaerőpiaci hátrányok területi vonatkozásai Észak-Magyarországon
Spatial aspects of labour market disadvantages in Northern Hungary

Summary/Abstract: Labour market disadvantages (unemployment, inactivity) have several negative consequences both at the macro and at the micro levels. The paper examines the spatial effects in the trends of unemployment. On the one hand, it deals with the autocorrelation among the settlements of the region. On the other, it examines the factors influencing unemployment. The autocorrelation analysis carried out for 2014 revealed some hot spots in the northern part of the region and some cold spots in the southern part. The conclusion of the OLS regression is that unemployment is influenced significantly by economic (economic growth, share of employed in the industrial sector) and demographic factors (population older than 60, share of active women)
