Abstract: Dissart J.-C., Aubert F. and L�picier D. Analysing the distribution of population-based employment in France, Regional Studies . The objective of this paper is to analyse the spatial distribution of employment in population-based services across metropolitan France. The population-based economy comprises services that satisfy the demand of both the permanent (residing) and temporary (tourists and day-travellers) population. Using spatial regression and shift--share analysis at the functional economic area scale, several categories of location factors are studied: market potential, the propensity to consume locally, as well as local attractiveness and access to facilities. Results identify structural and geographic factors related to local demand and show that the distribution of employment follows an urban--rural gradient except in peri-urban and tourism areas.
