Analysis of functional regions in Slovenia by gender of persons in employment

V magistrski nalogi smo analizirali funkcionalne regije po spolu delovno aktivnega prebivalstva v Sloveniji s statističnimi podatki delovne mobilnosti med občinami. Funkcionalne regije, posebej za moški in ženski spol ter za vse delovno aktivne skupaj, smo modelirali s pomočjo tretje različice metode CURDS. Analizo funkcionalnih regij smo izvedli na makro in mezo ravni Slovenije v treh časovnih obdobjih, in sicer: 2002–2005, 2009–2011 in 2016–2018. Med obravnavanimi obdobji je prišlo do spremembe meja analiziranih občin ter do spremembe v metodologiji zajema podatkov o delovni mobilnosti. Na makro ravni smo izračunali 9 do 16 funkcionalnih regij, na mezo ravni pa 19 do 35 regij. Ugotavljamo, da delovno aktivni moški v povprečju premagujejo daljše razdalje pri vožnji na delo kot ženske ter da razdalja do delovnega mesta pri obeh spolih narašča. Hkrati ugotavljamo, da ženske oblikujejo lokalno posebne funkcionalne regije, ki se pojavljajo predvsem na vzhodu države, medtem ko vzorci moške delovne mobilnosti poudarjajo lokalno posebna območja delovne mobilnosti predvsem v gorenjski statistični regiji.In this master’s thesis, functional regions by gender of persons in employment were analysed with statistical data on labour commuting between municipalities in Slovenia. Functional regions were modelled separately for male, female, and working population of both genders, using the third version of the CURDS method. The regions were analysed at macro and meso levels of Slovenia in three different periods: 2002–2005, 2009–2011 and 2016–2018. During these time spans, there were some changes in the boundaries of the analysed municipalities and in the methodology of data collection on labour commuting. At macro level 9 to 16 functional regions were calculated and 19 to 35 regions at meso level. We found that male persons in employment travels longer distances when commuting to work and also that distance to work is increasing for both genders. At the same time, we found that women persons in employment form locally specific functional regions that occur mainly in the eastern part of the country, while patterns of male labour commuting emphasize locally specific areas of labour mobility, especially in Gorenjska statistical region
