“…Wilson et al, 2021). Moreover, data availability and quality is a big challenge in most contexts (Schmertmann & Gonzaga, 2018) which specifically hinders comparability across countries (Kashnitsky et al, 2021). The existing studies that document differences and spatial regularities of mortality at subnational level of granularity are rather scarce, and yet subnational investigations consistently reveal the huge disparities within countries, and marked differences exist between populations (Smits & Permanyer, 2019).…”

Mortality keeps improving even in the most developed countries. Deaths before senior age become more and more occasional and thus are increasingly considered unnecessary and perhaps even avoidable. Denmark belongs to the most developed countries of the world in terms of progress in lowering human mortality levels. Yet there is still much room for large improvements – compared to Sweden, Danish population has almost the same survival profile up to age 50 but then there are striking differences in later ages. Between ages 50 and 65 about 10% of Danish males die while in Sweden this proportion is only about 7%. This paper explores the regularities of non-survival to pension age across Danish municipalities and compares them to ones in Sweden. The main focus of this exploration is identification of the spatial patterns based on the mortality characteristics of the population that are studied using the advanced spatial clustering algorithm that utilizes tree edge removal technique. The methodological challenge resolved along the way is the construction of reliable life table estimates for the small municipal populations. The results suggest that the main reason for the observed gap between Danish and Swedish municipalities, especially for males, is the lagging behind development of the most deprived areas, which corresponds with the results on widening gaps along socioeconomic dimensions.

This study examines the main factors influencing the formation of labor resources, which are interconnected with demographic changes that affect labor resources and, as a result, economic growth. This, of course, depends on several complex factors, including the nature and pace of demographic change, the functioning of labor and capital markets, macroeconomic and trade policy management, and the management and accumulation of human capital. However, the labor change model can take into account significant differences in past economic performance between regions and helps to identify more and less promising conditions for future economic growth. Understanding the challenges and implications of a country's changing population size and age structure, population replacement trends and prospects, and the links between demographic processes and labor and income generation will help the government develop policies that build on the economic potential inherent in the changes that are currently taking place.

The purpose of the article is to examine the influence of financial, socio-economic, and environmental degradation factors on the expenditure scope of environmental federalism. The panel data models were estimated based on 26 European countries for the period between 2007 and 2020. The research hypothesis of the article posits that the sound fiscal position of the local government and the financial sustainability stemming from it deepens the expenditure side of environmental federalism, especially when considering the population and its structure, the size of the economy, population, and the pollution generated by it. The article reveals that local government avoidance of both deficits and excessive indebtedness ends up promoting a higher scope of expenditure side of environmental federalism. In addition, in European countries, the significance of expenditures on environmental protection visible in local budgets is increased for smaller economies that are less environmentally degraded.
