Abstract

CAPRON H. and DEBANDE O. (1997) The role of the manufacturing base in the development of private and public services, Reg. Studies 31, 683-695. Although industrial employment has been going down over the last two decades, it is argued in this paper that a solid manufacturing base remains a vital component in the development of service activities. This argument is illustrated by a regression analysis of the growth of employment in private and public service activities for the 43 Belgian districts over 1975-88. The results show that the broader the manufacturing base, the higher the growth of employment in private service activities. Private activities in manufacturing and in services also appear to be an influencing determinant of employment in public service activities. CAPRON H. et DEBANDE O. (1997) Le role d'une base industrielle pour le developpement des services prives et publics, Reg. Studies 31, 683-695. Bien que l'emploi industriel soit a la baisse depuis les deux dernieres decennies, cet article developpe l'argument selon lequel l'existence d'une base industrielle consistante reste une composante vitale du developpment des activites de service. Cette argumentation est illustree ay travers d'une analyse de regression de la croissance de l'emploi dans les activites de service privee et publiques pour les quarante-trois arrondissements belges au cours de la periode 1975-1989. Les resultats demontrent que plus la base industrielle est large, plus la croissance de l'emploi dans les domaines industriels et de service constituen tun facteur determinant de l'emploi dans les activites de service publiques.

Obwohl die Industriegrundlage im Laufe der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte zuru¨ckgegangen ist, wird in diesem Aufsatz die Ansicht vertreten, dass eine solide Industriebasis weiterhin das Wachstum der verschiedenen Aktivita¨ten im Dienstleistungsbereich beeinflusst. Dieses Argument wird durch eine Regressionsanalyse der Zunahme der Erwerbsta¨tigen im privaten une o¨ffentlichen Dienstleistunszweign in 43 belgischen Berzirken fu¨r den Zeitraum 1975-1988 entwickelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass je breiter die industrielle Grundlage ist, desto ho¨her ist auch die privaten Industrie.- und Dienstleistunssektoen ein einfluss reicher Bestimmunsfaktor der Erwerbsta¨tigkeit
