Project Director: Alasdair Rae (University of Sheffield)
Project Duration: 2015-2016

This project was led by Alasdair Rae at the University of Sheffield in collaboration with CRESR and was commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. The study sought to develop policy proposals which can help local and national policymakers overcome the traditional disconnect between deprived neighbourhoods and economic growth. It included the development of a new typology of employment disconnection for all areas across the UK.

The project team also included Ruth Hamilton and Ryan Powell (University of Sheffield).
