Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The North East faces acute economic and social challenges. Levels of worklessness are higher than the national average, disadvantaged groups face particular barriers to entering the labour market and communities across the region are blighted by social and economic disadvantage. However, the role of transport in helping to alleviate these problems is often underplayed. Two out of every five jobseekers suggest that a lack of transport prevents them from finding employment; 31 per cent of people without a car have difficulties getting to their local hospital; 16 per cent of people without cars have difficulties accessing supermarkets. This is a cross-cutting issue which touches on a wide range of public policy issues, and there is a clear need for new thinking and new strategies. In this report ippr north argues that the role of transport as a tool for social inclusion needs to be given at least equal weight to its role in economic growth. The authors suggest a positive agenda for action to improve transport-related social exclusion in the North East with ideas, which will resonate in every part of the UK.
