Abstract

This paper examines data on regional labour markets, and discusses a means of comparing the development of those markets over the period between 1986 and 1991. A simple model is considered for future estimation using data on electorates. Major differences in patterns of employment and remuneration in different parts of the country are found m and factors associated with these are explored. These differences are examined against the background of some of the leading arguments for the Employment Contracts Act, and it is shown that local factors have been a dominant factor in setting remuneration over the period studied.
