Since its implementation in 1990, the human development index (HDI), the flagship indicator of multidimensional development, has attracted a great deal of attention and critics in academic, political and media circles. It initiated a new stage in the discussion of appropriate indicators to measure socioeconomic development. Until now, the vast majority of empirical work using the HDI concept has taken a cross-country perspective. The main aim of this paper is the application of the HDI at the sub-country level in small, highly developed and socioeconomically homogenous countries. For this undertaking we use a slightly modified version of the HDI, called the regional development index (RDI). For the components of the RDI - life expectancy, education and standard of living - we use recent cross section information for Austria at the level of districts. There exists considerable heterogeneity across districts in the RDI and its components. Our Theil-decomposition reveals that the overwhelming part of the observed heterogeneity is based on differences within provinces (96 percent), although the differences in life expectancy between the provinces explain a substantial part of the overall heterogeneity in this indicator (54 percent).

The aim of the study is to examine the market position of the Hungarian business service centers in the Central and Eastern European region with special regard to the available human resources. The study first explores the literature on the development of the global, regional and Hungarian business services sector (BSS). Then, through comparative statistical analysis, it presents the situation of the Hungarian market within the CEE region. Development of the region’s business services sectors was unbroken between 2015 and 2020, but growth showed a declining trend in most countries in terms of number of employees. Different growth trajectories can be explained by different quantitative, qualitative and spatial distributions of human resources. However, our study not only sheds light on regional disparities, but also helps to overcome inequalities, thereby recommending a more effective investment promotion and human resource development policies.
