Abstract

This paper analyses the spatial heterogeneity of the effects of the Great Recession by comparing differences between metropolitan and non-metropolitan contexts in Spain. We use the Living Conditions Survey to analyse changes between pre- and post-recession periods in three aspects related to vulnerability (employment, deprivation and health). Multivariate analyses are used to distinguish the 'contextual effect' due to the place of residence from the influence of individual or household attributes. The analyses show increasing differences between the larger metropolitan areas and the other socio-spatial contexts analysed (smaller metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas). In particular, the analyses show favourable trends in employment and health for the former, but the opposite in household deprivation.
