struktura zatrudnienia, PKB per capita, region NUTS 2, podobieństwo

Abstrakt

Praca przedstawia wyniki grupowania regionów Unii Europejskiej szczebla NUTS 2 dokonanego na podstawie struktury zatrudnienia w usługach biznesowych opartych na wiedzy, rozpatrywanej w trzech sekcjach: usługi wysokich technologii, usługi marketingowe oraz pozostałe usługi biznesowe oparte na wiedzy, w powiązaniu z poziomem PKB na mieszkańca. Analizę przeprowadzono dla lat 2008 i 2018. Do grupowania regionów z punktu widzenia struktury zatrudnienia wykorzystano aglomeracyjną metodę Warda (do identyfikacji liczby grup) oraz metodę k‑średnich (dla uzyskania ostatecznego podziału). Dla oceny podobieństwa podziałów oraz związków pomiędzy strukturą zatrudnienia w analizowanych usługach biznesowych a poziomem i dynamiką rozwoju gospodarczego zastosowano miarę podobieństwa podziałów zbioru skończonego.
