Abstract

L'objectif de cette étude est de contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes responsables de la hausse et de la persistance du chômage, en particulier le contraste Wallonie-Flandre. Ce travail prolonge des travaux antérieurs en intégrant simultanément dans l'analyse la dimension spatiale et le niveau de qualification. On peut de cette façon examiner les conséquences de chocs asymétriques (régions/qualifications) sur les taux de chômage et d'emplois vacants d'équilibre. L'analyse fait apparaître en Wallonie un accroissement continu des disparités de situation entre régions et niveaux de qualification qui peut s'expliquer par le déclin des vieilles industries et le développement des technologies nouvelles. Les disparités ainsi crées sont d'autant plus importantes que les coûts du travail s'adaptent peu; elles semblent également avoir été amplifiées par la faiblesse de l'investissement en capital physique et en capital humain
