OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance presents indicators on individual regions and cities since the turn of the new millennium. It provides a comprehensive picture of past successes and likely challenges that regions and cities in OECD members and partner countries will face in their efforts to build stronger, more sustainable and more resilient economies. By relying on a combination of traditional and more innovative data sources, OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance describes the evolving nature of spatial disparities within countries from a multidimensional perspective. New topics covered by this edition include the economic impact of recent shocks, such as the pandemic and the energy crisis, housing affordability, climate change and digitalisation.
Employment: Regional recovery and persistent demographic gaps
Unemployment rates rose in nearly all OECD regions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures but, as restrictions were relaxed in many places, employment started recovering. By early 2022, nearly half of regions had rebounded to pre-crisis levels. However, gender and age disparities in employment remain wide in most regions.
