Abstract

"The report examines the quantitative and qualitative structural change in employment in the period from 1985 to 1995. In the first part sectoral structures are analysed, in the second part occupation and training structures. The regions examined are the old Länder (i.e. former West Germany) and the regions types based on settlement-structure as demarcated by the former Federal Research Institute for Regional Studies and Regional Development Research (Bundesforschungsanstalt für Landeskunde und Raumforschung). It is postulated that globalisation has an accelerating effect on regional processes of structural change. This thesis is examined many times in the course of the study. The results are on the whole inconsistent: a particularly dynamic structural change took place in the region types. The loser is the region type 'with large urban agglomerations' (metropolitan regions): the trends towards disurbanisation have gained dynamism in the 1990s. The metropolitan regions even lose employment shares in the field of 'higher grade jobs'. At Länder level a different behaviour over time can be seen. A particular dynamism does not emerge. In the result there is a continuous alignment of the regional sectoral structures." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
