Spatial inequality and skills in a changing economy
Spatial disparities in employment and skills are entrenched and increased during the recession. There are also spatial variations in ambitions, aspirations and motivations. Localised outlooks may constrain ambition but such individuals are 'settled' not 'trapped' making rational choices to remain supported by current social networks. Government policy promotes a 'rebalancing' of the economy which in spatial terms is about 'sharing' growth rather than curtailing growth and reallocating it elsewhere.
