UK regional household income gap has barely changed in 30 years
A Resolution Foundation report says the richest and poorest areas have remained consistently divided since 1997 despite government promises to narrow it.
Despite promises from successive governments to reduce inequality, Britain’s regional household income divide has barely changed over the past 30 years, according to a report cited by the Guardian Economics.
The Resolution Foundation said the gap between the richest and poorest areas has been consistent since 1997, underscoring the difficulty of efforts to narrow regional differences as political leadership changes.
