De mellemstore byers omstrukturering i land-og yderkommunerne: befolkning, erhverv og human kapital. (Danish)

The restructuring of medium-sized cities in the rural and peripheral municipalities: population, industry and human capital. (English)

This paper analyses the restructuring of population, industry and employment in the medium-sized cities in the rural and peripheral municipalities in Denmark. This paper examines whether the slowdown known from the smallest towns outside the metropolitan regions has affected the medium-sized cities or whether these follow their own development paths. For the analysis, we have divided the medium-sized cities based on their population and employment growth in the period 2012-2019 into four types, which we examine thoroughly. We include human capital in the analysis to examine the consequences of the knowledge economy. There are clear differences between the four city types and considerable variation within the types although there are smaller differences in relation to human capital. This study shows that the smallest of the medium-sized cities have performed best. This indicates that the development paths differ from the smallest cities, but also that there are differences between the medium-sized cities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artiklen analyserer omstruktureringen af befolkning, erhverv og beskæftigelse i de mellemstore byer i land-og yderkommunerne i Danmark. Artiklen undersøger, om den afmatning, som er kendt fra de mindste byer uden for storbyregionerne, har ramt de mellemstore byer, eller om disse følger deres egne udviklingsveje. Til analysen har vi opdelt de mellemstore byer på baggrund af deres befolknings-og beskæftigelsesvækst i perioden 2012-2019 i fire bytyper, som vi undersøger nærmere. Vi inkluderer human kapital i analysen for at undersøge konsekvenserne af vidensøkonomien. Der er tydelige forskelle mellem de fire bytyper og stor variation inden for typerne med fokus på befolkning, erhverv og beskæftigelse, mens der er mindre forskelle i forhold til human kapital. Dette studie viser, at de mindste byer af de mellemstore byer har klaret sig bedst. Dette peger på, at udviklingsvejene adskiller fra de mindste byer, men også at der er forskelle mellem de mellemstore byer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
