The characterisation and comparison of Nordic local labour markets can be undertaken in various ways. In the 'Nordic urban typology' four main aspects are included. Firstly the typology includes the settlement structure, measured both in terms of total population and population density in the LLMs and settlements. Secondly the administrative status and the existence of a university in the LLM are also included as functional components. Thirdly the location of each LLM was considered with respect to its surrounding urban pattern, thus providing an indication of whether the LLM was situated in a polycentric surrounding or not when it comes to the number and density of localities in the LLM and its neighbours. Finally the employment structure of the smallest LLMs was also distinguished on the basis of whether their labour markets are based on productive industries or services.
