The purpose of this article is comparative–analytic survey of relative advantages and inequality of employment between urban regions of Khorasan Razavi and urban regions of Iran. The main question is that which activities in economic sectors and subsectors of these regions are basic or nonbasic? With attention to geographical different conditions of these regions, relative advantages of those are similar or different? The methodology of this research is a descriptive-analytic approach and in the gathering of data, mainly have used from second data analysis (documentary) method. And also in the stage of data analysis, base economic model, location quotient technic and Williamson and coefficient of variation inequality indexes are used. Research findings indicated that agriculture sector in 70 percent of urban regions of Iran and 82 percent of urban regions of Khorasan Razavi have had relative advantage. In industry sector, relative advantage of urban regions of Iran is upper than urban regions of Khorasan Razavi (%36.7 versus %23.5). But in service sector, relative advantage of urban regions of Khorasan Razavi is upper than urban regions of Iran (%64.7 versus %50). In indeterminate and nonprofess sector, relative advantages of urban regions of Khorasan Razavi is upper than urban regions of Iran (%41 versus %20).dominance of activities in this sector shows that formal sectors in this urban regions don’t have ability to attract the employments. Analysis of inequality of employment also indicated that firstly, total inequality in urban regions of Iran is very more than urban regions of Khorasan Razavi. Secondly, the trend of inequalities between two decades both in urban regions of Iran and urban regions of Khorasan Razavi intensified.

The relationship between employment and immigration in special levels of Systan & Balochestan including rural and urban regions is studied in the present paper with the purpose of analysis, modeling and prediction of employment role in immigration. Research method is analytical-descriptive with quantitative approach in which models of labor market, correlation and regression are used. Two variables(employment deficit and out-immigration) obtained from labor market model were introduced as independent and dependent variables in modeling process respectively and then their relationship was predicted. This research considers immigration as an outcome of geographical differences between supply and demand of labor force and indicates the worse labor market of rural regions than urban regions during five decades (1956-2006). There is a direct and strong relationship between employment deficit and out-immigration in rural and urban regions (correlation coefficient: 0.9). 90% of immigrations occurred in rural and urban regions during the five decades are characterized by employment deficit. It is predicted that when employment deficit in urban regions is eliminated completely and there isn’t employment surplus, these regions will accept immigrants (about 23000 people) and if this happens in rural regions, out-immigration will be diminished greatly about 500 people. Findings indicate that employment deficit is population pulled to the region and employment deficit is population driven from the region. So providing employment opportunities in the region through investment in providing new employment opportunities can be recognized as the most effective solution to prevent evacuation of rural and urban regions of the province.

Tourism is an important part of economic activity and has been considered from different perspectives.The present study investigates the role of tourism in the province of Gilan and its impact on job creation and balanced regional development during the period 1375-1385 and is 1385-1390Prdakhth.Research Methods is - descriptive and analytical and required data collected based on the documentary information.To analyze the effects of employment in the tourism sector, "the number of workers in activities related to the provision of accommodation and food" is used. The results based on models of shift - share, rate and spatial entropy index, show that during this period, employment growth has been positive in the tourism sector. While the distribution of employment in the province, in the period 1375-1385, balanced regional development, but in the period 1385-1390, it has mainly been to the benefit of the city of Rasht. In the period 1375-1385, the growth of cities Astara, Rasht, shaft, Sowme'eh Sara in the tourism sector is lower than province indexes. But in other cities, the city such as Astana Ashrafieh, Anzali, Talesh, Roudbar, Rudsar, Lahijan and Langrood saw further growth in the tourism sector. In the period 1385-1390, except of Rasht, Rudsar, Lahijan and Masal s economic growth more than Guilan province but the city of Astara, Astaneh Ashrafieh, Amlash, Anzali, Talesh, Rezvanshahr, Roudbar, Siahkal, Shafts, Sowme'eh Sara and Langrood, has been negative growth. In addition, during the first period,Fuman, Astaneh Achrafieh and Langrood threshold during the second period Rasht, Lahijan Amlash was most successful role in the area have increased the share of employment in the tourism sector.
