OECD Regional Development Studies How's Life in the Province of Cordoba, Argentina? e-bog

This report assesses well-being in the four largest urban agglomerations of the province of Cordoba and provides policy recommendations to strengthen regional development practices, and ultimately improve people's well-being. Using around 30 statistical indicators, the report analyses the performance of Cordoba's agglomerations in 12 well-being dimensions in comparison with 391 regions of 36 OECD countries and 98 regions of Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Costa Rica. The report also documents the well-being inequalities between Cordoba's four agglomerations and suggests three priorities areas which the province should focus on to tackle well-being challenges: i) Ensure that well-being indicators guide future decision-making; ii) Continue strengthening and modernising the provincial statistical system to expand the evidence-base; and, iii) Strengthen governance arrangements for more effective, efficient and inclusive regional development policy outcomes.
