%T The spacial pattern of economic activity and inactivity in Britain: people or place effects? %A Little, Allan %J Regional Studies %N 7 %P 877-897 %V 43 %D 2009 %= 2010-09-16T11:57:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-134094 %X Incapacity Benefit claimants are the primary target group in the next phase of the Government's Welfare-to-Work strategy. In this paper we perform a decomposition to statistically account for the part played by area-based and individual-based factors, in differential rates of employment, unemployment, inactivity and recorded sickness, across NUTS level 2 areas. Spatial variation in long-term sickness and disability cannot simply be attributed to prevailing population structures, and is more likely to be a manifestation of regional imbalances in labour demand and supply. The implication is that the success of supply-side policies is likely to be constrained by the concentration of Incapacity Benefit claimants in demand-deficient areas. %C GBR %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
