“…If the municipality is big enough to have a diversified labour market it still can be resilient to digitalisation transformation as the high exposure can be balanced by apposite diversity. The time needed for adaptation to the new situation can therefore be bridged, many different qualifications already exist in the community, openness for innovation is easier as the human resources are on site [38,74]. Most probably at the beginning only a limited group could profit from the restructured economic activity but if the community is able to activate endogenous circular processes and capitalize, it can enable further economic prosperity for the region (in accordance with [75]).…”

“…The most relevant factors increasing vulnerability refer to limitations in access to resources (natural resources, knowledge, information, and technology); insufficient access to representation and political power; lack of social strength, capital, and networks; a high share of socially dependent populations; insufficient provision of functional infrastructure; lack of preparedness, institutions, and training [30,36,37]. The geographical distribution of social vulnerability is linked with spatial disparities [38]. The social impact depends on where the changes are occurring and differs regionally.…”

Digitalisation, referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, is gradually becoming part of all areas of life. The progressing digitalisation inspires new business models, restructures production processes and provides new revenue and value-producing opportunities. Simultaneously jobs are becoming abdicable and livelihoods can get threatened. To analyse the spatial context of the susceptibility of regional labour markets to 4.0 technology in Austria, the occupation-based assessment of digitalisation probability was projected on the industry standard classification and linked to the statistical employee data at the municipal level. The outcomes reveal to what extent the economic sections and divisions are exposed to digitalisation. Results representing spatial distribution reveal that digitalisation risks cannot be explicitly assigned to certain spatial structures or localities. Still, it can be stated that urban areas and small towns are relatively less exposed to disappearing of existing jobs. Municipalities with the highest vulnerability to labour replaceability are located mainly in rural areas. The discussion focuses on regional resilience, social vulnerability and possible development paths for different frameworks and spatial context of consequences. The study emphasizes the importance of digitalisation processes for regional development and presents an approach of analysing their territorial dimensions.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1852 2 of 29 never been needed before is being created [3,[7][8][9][10]. The development of digital technologies and the increasing internetworking of the past decades have already significantly changed the economy and business models. The significance of distance has changed, it is less and less considered to be a barrier for cooperation or delivery of goods and services. Changed accessibility opens up new markets for the companies and at the same time makes more goods and services available to the consumers. Digitalisation stimulates further development, demanding more innovative approaches in order to be capable of actively participating and shaping the digital transformation. It influences the expectations for the competencies of both the employers and employees [11,12]. The projections on the future demand for knowledge and skills reveal that digital technology is more likely to displace primarily routinized work than low-skilled work [13], and therefore can be the first revolution that takes away middle-class jobs. Consequently, it can lead to the point where the worse jobs, not only in terms of income but more demanding physically and less safe, are left for humans [14,15]. In the past substitution and abandonment of tasks have normally been accompanied by the continuous adjustment and emergence of other economic activities and tasks [16]. Although these processes take place concurrently, it is also evident that new digital technologies are observed to have a potentially positive influence on employment in the long-term, but short-term consequences are rather negative [17]....

“…This paper addresses LDCs who belong to the second generation of caregiving relatives, namely daughters and sons as well as daughters-in-law and sons-in-law. The reason for this scoping lies in the fact of an increasing imbalance related to the distribution and age-structure of the population, the trends towards the beanpole family [35] and the spatially differentiated potential of family care due to (Upper) Austria's growing spatial heterogeneity between (infra-)structurally strong and weak areas [34,36]. These factors are strongly linked and have already led to a decrease of supportive caregiving members within the families themselves on the one hand and a growing number of LDCs in Austria [34] on the other hand.…”

“…Aside from the general problem of the measurability of the immediateness of effects of health-promotion measures [58], basing on the survey results, first of all it can be assumed that an ideal support, relief or health promoting measure never will exist due to the impossibility considering the great diversity of the LDCs' living and caregiving situations [10]. At best, NCDFs will become a health promoting measure among others, above all web-based offers [36].…”

Background: The number of persons who have to overcome extensive geographical distances for caring for their older parent(s), hereinafter referred to as long-distance caregiving relatives (LDCs), is rising. However, in the non-English-speaking Global North, little is known about the LDCs’ health literacy and the design of tailor-made health promotion measures for this target-group. Using the example of nursing care discussion forums (NCDF), this paper reflects the requirements and (future) potential of professionally-lead support groups for LDCs on the case-study example of Upper Austria. Methods: In order to approach this unexplored topic considering spatial-related aspects, a qualitative-explorative study design was chosen, focusing on the providers’ perspective. A written survey among all NCDF-group leaders was carried out. Results: LDCs do not make use of NCDFs at present. It is considered that this is above all for time constraints, lack of information and location-based problems of fit. This applies for urban as well as rural contexts. Conclusions: LDCs need more attention in public health. Suitable NCDFs have to be located in the LCDs’ residential municipalities and have to fulfill different requirements from those of local caregiving relatives, particularly with regard to purpose and scope.
