UK Regional Inequality
The purpose of this video is to show how unequal the UK is as a whole, being one of the most economically unbalanced countries out of the OECD’s 38 advanced economies. We will also see what this actually means in practice when it comes to the likes of income, education, health and life expectancy.
Overview
The United Kingdom is one of the most unequal countries among the world’s advanced economies, with deep disparities of wealth and power between and within the four nations. The only other EU OECD nation more unequal than the UK is Slovakia. The effects of inequalities between and within the nations have significant impacts on income, wealth, education, health and life expectancy.
Key learning objectives:
Outline spatial inequalities in the United Kingdom
Identify the effects spatial inequalities have on the general public
