Inner-city and Suburban Labour Markets in a Major English Conurbation: Processes and Policy Implications

Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research, Sheffield Hallam University, Pond Street, Sheffield S1 1WB, UK

Unemployment is one of the key characteristics of Britain's inner cities. This paper examines labour market processes and their policy implications within an inner-city and a suburban area of an economically depressed city in England, Sheffield. Five major themes are examined: markedly contrasting unemployment rates within the two areas and their policy implications; job barriers, aspirations and opportunities; skills attainment and training issues; differential unemployment rates affecting specific socio-economic groups in each locality; and questions surrounding poverty.
