About the Book

There is a growing consensus that the UK's serious regional economic disparities need to be tackled and the Government has accepted an ambitious target of reducing these disparities over the long term. Crucially the sustained regional voice provided by the Deputy Prime Minister has been supplemented by the rise of HM Treasury as regional champions. However, there is less consensus over the causes of these disparities and what policy instruments would make a real difference. This report addresses how levels of both productivity and employment in the regions can be improved, and in particular suggests how lagging regions can benefit from policy improvements in areas such as enterprise, innovation, skills, public investment, the housing market and labour market reforms.

Review :
"Treating unequal regions equally is neither a credible nor a just recipe for territorial equity, but this is what passes for 'regional policy' in the UK today. The great merit of the ippr report is that it exposes this fact in a sober and well-argued manner. Equally important, it also makes a robust case as to why New Labour should craft a bolder, more imaginative regional policy in the UK for the sake of a triple dividend of territorial equity, social justice and sustainable development." Professor Kevin Morgan, University of Cardiff "I read the pamphlet with joy. Not only does it recognise the problems of regional disparities, but it offers a positive agenda for action." Andrew Bennett MP,Chair, ODPM Select Committee "I very much welcome this report as a thorough and thought-provoking piece of work which will provide an important, strong and timely contribution to stimulating a much-needed debate on reducing regional economic disparities." Dr John Bridge Chairman, One NorthEast
