Description and Table of Contents
Description
The issue of regional inequality in the UK has gradually come to the forefront over the last decade, the north-south divide being the most obvious example of the economic and other disparities which are seemingly governed by geography. These not only create discord within society as a whole, but cause instability in the UK economy, seriously affecting its status and competitiveness in an increasingly globalized market. This book constitutes a collection of authoritative articles, based on papers presented at the National Economic Development Office Policy Seminar held in March 1990. Each examines in detail the causes and consequences of regional inequality in different areas of activity, and suggests how the attendant problems can be tackled and inequalities reduced. Topics covered include: employment and earnings; education; housing; regional policy; migration; transport; industry and trade unions.
