Chapter Chapter 2 in Demographic Transition, Labour Markets and Regional Resilience, 2017, pp 17-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter will examine some of the key demographic trends across OECD cities and regions and will discuss some of the most important challenges facing different types of places. In particular, the links between ageing and population decline will be discussed in the context of local labour markets and shifts in long-run public policy needs. Insights from Japan and European countries regarding urban policies will be examined and the key challenges associated with fostering long run regional resilience in the face of adverse demographics will be discussed. The impacts of these discussions on changes in public policy perceptions will also be discussed and suggestions for new research agendas in urban economics will also be put forward.
