Changes in Employment

Classifications of Economy, figure 1

  • __Reducing primary and secondary __sectors has consequences on low skilled workers
  • meaning unemployment rises for low skilled workers
  • Areas like Leicester (which has a stronghold over manufacturing jobs, like steel production) could make this area go into decline.

  • Fewer jobs mean less employment and a cycle of decline and depression could start in the area, affecting other jobs and education.

  • Expanding tertiary and quaternary also has consequences
  • Forcing more people to go to university
  • Creating more of a knowledge economy
  • As this happens, some people may be priced out of such an education.
  • Investment in research may rise, as well as university places.

Inequality

Video on inequality thinking:

These two maps compare ‘good health’ (purple map) and __pay levels __(orange map). Classifications of Economy, figure 1

There is a clear pattern, with the darker levels reporting both good health as well as higher pay.

  • Especially within London, there is a trend of very high pay (<%50k) and very good health.

The correlation reveals that indices of employment and pay can tell us more than just job status.

__In the UK, the richer you are, the more likely your health is to be good. __
