Historically, government regional policies have not been successful at solving regional disparities. One of the key factors is the ingrained and self-perpetuating cycle of behaviour that drives (or stagnates) labour mobility: The best talent is drawn to the best jobs and the best businesses set up where the best talent is, which is where the best jobs already are.

We have developed an interactive map which you can use to explore regional differences in skill level versus determinants of prosperity, such as salary, probability of future automation and share of job growth.
