RAI - Labour Market Efficiency (LGA) 2011

This data has been created by the Regional Australia Institute for the [[In]Sight competitive index](http://www.regionalaustralia.org.au/research-policy/insight) released in 2012. Modelled on the World Economic Forums Global Competitiveness Report [In]Sight was developed in collaboration with Deloitte Access Economics and combines data from sources including the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Social Health Atlas of Australia.\n\nBoth employment rates and the levels of labour force participation are key inputs into the creation of an efficient labour market. Generally long-term unemployment indicates the presence of inherent structural problems which may adversely impact competitiveness. Low labour force participation may reflect low education levels in the region a lack of economic opportunities or an atypical age structure (such as a skew towards retirement age persons).本数据集由澳大利亚区域研究所（Regional Australia Institute）为2012年发布的[In]Sight竞争指数编制而成，相关指数详情可访问http://www.regionalaustralia.org.au/research-policy/insight。该指数借鉴世界经济论坛《全球竞争力报告》的研究框架，由澳大利亚区域研究所与德勤经济咨询（Deloitte Access Economics）合作开发，整合了澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics）、澳大利亚社会健康地图集（Social Health Atlas of Australia）等多源数据。 就业率与劳动力参与率均为构建高效劳动力市场的核心投入指标。通常而言，长期失业现象预示着区域存在内在结构性问题，可能对区域竞争力产生负面影响。劳动力参与率偏低则可能反映出该地区教育水平不足、经济机会匮乏，或是存在非典型的人口年龄结构（如向退休年龄人群倾斜）。
