Percentage of unemployed people in working age population (2014), Jan. 2019
Description
This vector dataset provides the percentage of people who are unemployed in selected European cities working age population (2014). The tabular data on unemployment rate was downloaded from Eurostat and joined to the Urban Audit 2011-2014 cities' centroids, also downloaded from Eurostat.
Unemployment status and rate are important indicators of socio-economic status, which in turn affects the vulnerability of the individual or population to climate-related hazards such as heatwaves or flooding. People of lower socio-economic stauts are more likely to be living in areas exposed to urban heat island or flooding, occupy poor-quality housing or have poor health. They are also less likely to equip their dwellings with proporty-level overheating or flood-resilience measures compared to wealthier people and may be affected more by increase in prices of water or energy. Therefore, the unemployment rate should be considered as a factor affecting vulnerability of the population in adaptation planning.
