The Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr) is the UK’s leading progressive think tank, producing research and innovative policy ideas for the United Kingdom. This latest release is sure to surprise most workers and adds further evidence to the growing disparity between rich and poor, North and South.
06 August 2007.
Ten years of Labour Government has failed to close the gap in prosperity between north and south, according to new research from ippr north to be published in October.ippr north’s report cites Government figures that measure the gap between regions. These figures show that since 1997, the North East, the North West, Yorkshire and Humberside and the Midlands have all moved further away from the national average, on the Government’s favoured measure of output per head (known to economists as ‘Gross value added’). Over the same period, London has out paced the rest of Britain.
ippr north’s report shows that the Government’s target (which was set by Gordon Brown in 2002) has only been to reduce the average rate of growth between two groups of regions:
* on the one hand, the North East, the North West, Yorkshire and Humberside the East and West Midlands and the South West, and;
* on the other hand, London, the South East and the East of England.
The report says this target is inadequate and has led to too little attention and resources going into addressing the north-south divide. The Government is reviewing all its targets in this October’s Comprehensive Spending Review.
Sue Stirling, Director of ippr north, says:
“The Government needs to get real on the north-south divide. At the moment, it is in denial. The Government has not explicitly targeted the gap between rich and poor, nor the gap between north and south. As a result, the work of Labour’s Regional Development Agencies has only succeeded in reducing the north’s relative decline.
