Urban Economic Change Since 1911
Read or listen offline
Recommendation
Paul Swinney and Elli Thomas of the UK-based research and policy institute Center for Cities explore the changing world of work in major cities across the UK since 1911. They highlight the gap between the northern and southern regions of the country, and explore reasons why the South is faring better than the North in the job market. This well-researched report traces the history of several cities, discusses changes in the nature of work and suggests measures the UK government can adopt in order to bridge the gap between the two regions. getAbstract recommends its findings to economists, policy makers and industrialists.
