labour markets of the Central and East European countries have been characterised
by marked regional differences. This paper will concentrate on the spatial pattern
of job creation, determined by the allocation decisions of foreign and domestic
investors. Regions with the highest employment rates may boast high doses of FDI
inflows, while low employment regions have been suffering from the persistent
lack of outside investments. The paper describes the regional distribution of
foreign and domestic employment. The second section analyses the spatial distribution
of FDI and domestic firms’ employment, and points out the most important
explanatory factors of their regional distribution. The third section discusses
the time path of regional labour market differences in Hungary and measures the
impact of foreign firms’ net job creation on employment, in high and low
employment regions. The last section concludes with some policy relevant messages. |
