The development of geographical differences in education levels within the Swedish tourism industry

ABSTRACT

The nexus of workforce and destination development is a largely uncharted area within tourism research. The local human capital has above all been in focus when underlining tourism's potential to create employment even for the inexperienced and less educated. However, a discordant strand of theory holds the low levels of qualified knowledge within the industry responsible for absent destination development in areas struggling to develop competitive advantages. Additionally, the in-migration of a skilled workforce may be hampered by a lack of amenities attracting permanent residents. In order to explore whether the tourism sector is characterized by a less educated share of the workforce, a study was performed using micro-level data on the full working population of Sweden during the years 2000–2010. The workforce in tourism was compared to the total and two other low-skill sectors, and the results show that the educational aspects within tourism are more related to geography than economic sectors. Contrary to general presumptions, the workforce within the tourism sector has a higher level of formal education than the other selected sectors in regions with generally low educational levels. The implication is thus that strategies aimed at creating employment for the least educated in rural areas need to be reconsidered, and not unconditionally target the tourism sector. Above all, tourism development needs to be based on assessments of local preconditions rather than a generalized image.     

Some aspects of mid-latitude daytime ionospheric disturbances

This paper is concerned with the ionospheric irregularities produced during daylight hours in mid-latitude regions by medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (MS-TIDs) as these disturbances pass overhead at a recording station. These irregularities are detected as ionogram trace distortions as well as by spread-F conditions particularly related to the second-hop reflections of HF radio waves. The existence of a significant amount of spread on second-hop ionogram traces during the passage of two particular MS-TIDs is illustrated and discussed. Experimental evidence is presented to suggest that, similar to the results for night-time spread-F, the occurrence of these daytime events is inversely related to variations in the neutral-particle density of the upper atmosphere, for the annual and sunspot-cycle variations. However, the results do not show a similar inverse relationship for the diurnal variation.     

Apparent and actual disease landscapes. Some reflections on the geographical definition of health and disease

Like geographical analysis in general, medical geography is based on the assumption that location is the first clue to causal analysis. Against a background of two empirical studies, one dealing with a group of ALS cases and the other with a group of leukaemia cases, this paper argues that it is insufficient to define disease occurrence in spatial terms, referring to patients' places of residence at the time of onset. Since exposure and effect are related to both time and place, geographical studies of ill health in modern society are complicated by high mobility, long periods of latency and environmental change which might cause a distortion between cause and effect. Therefore a different approach is required.
