Abstract

The paper tells us that from the information made available by 1991 Population Census as to daily jobresidence mobility, it is possible to derive a regional functional structure. Basing themselves upon this, the authors drew up a by district definition of the local labour market in terms of various autosufficiency thresholds and township-grouping algorithms. These findings are here seen to offer a better understanding of both the internal structure of the region as a whole and its main urban and metropolitan areas, a understanding here seen to point up the existence of two differing models for the region's territorial organization that correspond to a North/South division of the same and would seem to be determined by the existence, or not, of supra-district structures, Further, the findings are said to have revealed a serious mismatch between local labour market.districts" and those marked out for the INEM (Ministry of Labour) offices, an incongruence that would seriously limit the usefulness of the latter.
