Book Description
This book discusses the question of how a regional economy can develop under the influence of an ageing and declining population, and how regional development policies can help make labor markets more resilient and more inclusive. As the greatest impacts of demographic change and policy and fiscal challenges can be observed at the local level, examples from European, North American and Asian regions are combined to present a comprehensive, global range of strategic solutions from different policy contexts. The book shows how institutions, organizations and communities can enhance their pathways for sustainable development through the intelligent management of their demographic transition, and offers a synthesis of valuable lessons and strategies.

Global Political Demography
Author: Achim Goerres
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030730654
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
This open access book draws the big picture of how population change interplays with politics across the world from 1990 to 2040. Leading social scientists from a wide range of disciplines discuss, for the first time, all major political and policy aspects of population change as they play out differently in each major world region: North and South America; Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region; Western and East Central Europe; Russia, Belarus and Ukraine; East Asia; Southeast Asia; subcontinental India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; Australia and New Zealand. These macro-regional analyses are completed by cross-cutting global analyses of migration, religion and poverty, and age profiles and intra-state conflicts. From all angles, this book shows how strongly contextualized the political management and the political consequences of population change are. While long-term population ageing and short-term migration fluctuations present structural conditions, political actors play a key role in (mis-)managing, manipulating, and (under-)planning population change, which in turn determines how citizens in different groups react.

Resilient Landscapes
Author: Matteo Clemente
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1003832873
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
In recent years, resilient districts have become territorial contexts for projects designed to respond to the needs of local communities, through the exploitation of landscape peculiarities to overcome the economic crisis. This volume offers a comprehensive insight on sustainable development of local territories. It recommends the planning of local interventions through the integration of sustainable development with resilience of local systems. The chapters originate from either individual or collective work independently conducted, but at the same time integrated by scholars from different academic backgrounds, among which environmental and agrarian sciences, social and economic disciplines, and urban planning and landscape design are included.

Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2024 The Geography of Generative AI
Author: OECD
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN: 9264628665
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Regions across the OECD face a range of labour market challenges and are undergoing a significant transformation. An ageing workforce, low labour productivity growth, persistent regional disparities, pervasive labour shortages, and new technologies will require both people and places to undergo transitions. This report, Job Creation and Local Economic Development 2024: The Geography of Generative AI, examines the health of regional and local labour markets, including through new estimates on regional labour shortages and their drivers. New tools and technologies, such as Generative AI, could help policymakers address these challenges and seize new opportunities for job creation and local economic growth. This report provides novel evidence of the geography of the impact of Generative AI on jobs across the OECD. It examines which places within countries and types of workers are most exposed to Generative AI and contrasts this with the labour market impact of past waves of technologies that drove automation. Finally, it discusses local and place-based actions and policies for seizing the benefits of Generative AI, such as boosting productivity, mitigating labour shortages and demographic change, as well as for mitigating risks of job displacement.

Regional Resilience, Economy and Society
Author: Christine Tamásy
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317069048
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
There has been a great deal of restructuring of rural places and communities under globalisation, highlighting the interaction of local and global actors to produce new hybrid socio-economic relations. Recent research highlights the heterogeneity of globalisation in which rural places are different to each other, but also different to how they were in the past. Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of academics, and comparative case studies from Europe (West and East) and Asia, this book explores and discusses opportunities and challenges associated with globalising rural places, and identifies possibilities for policy and practical intervention by rural development actors. Special attention is paid to multi-scalar processes through which rural places are reshaped through globalisation. Taking a geographical approach, the book produces new critical work on the interdependence between globalisation and rural spaces. It is organised into five sections: Part I focuses on ’Global-Rural Linkages’ showing the multifaceted interrelation between actors at different geographical scale and demonstrating that globalisation is not only external to rural spaces. Part II on ’Rural Entrepreneurship and Labour Markets’ explores the potential of business start-ups in rural spaces which are not only necessity driven. Part III ’Rural Innovation and Learning’ shows that rural places are also places for innovation and learning. Part IV on ’Rural Policies and Governance’ argues that regional policies for rural places should promote side activities to maintain social capital and that regional policy should take a more integrative perspective between urban and rural spaces in order to explore complementary development paths. The concluding chapter ’New Approaches to Rural Spaces’ discusses new approaches to globalising rural places in relation to the preceding chapters published in this book.
