Unveiling geographical patterns of hierarchy in the Greek labor market network: toward a multilayer “status-polus” model
构建了一个分析劳动力市场空间配置与动态发展的框架,应用于希腊劳动力市场网络,识别出五个拓扑相似的地理区域,并提出“地位-极点”模型,揭示了层级结构变化、空间模式转型及岛屿地区面临的整合挑战。
Abstract This article develops a comprehensive framework for understanding labor markets’ spatial configuration and development dynamics, across multiple spatial scales. It applies to the Greek Labor Market Network and delineates five geographical zones of topological similarity, proposing a “status-polus” model capturing the coexistence between spatial development patterns, structural units, administrative scale, intermodality, and their underlying economic geography theories, by distance. The analysis reveals hierarchical structural variations, a transformation from continuous to point spatial patterns; a reduction and escalation of structural units; a U-shaped rule describing the hubs participation; and the challenges faced by insular regions to integrate this labor market.
