Abstract

This paper presents the employment location policy in the Netherlands as established in 1988. The theoretical concept of 'accessibility profiles' and 'mobility profiles', instruments and empirical evidence are presented. In spite of various possible critical remarks, the basic policy of 'the right business at the right location' is sound and should be continued, if necessary, with some amendments to match local circumstances.
