North / south collide
Employment patterns in Britain 2005 study
Overview
In recent decades, traditional family units have been turned on
their heads by people choosing to relocate away from the areas they
were born in to other parts of the country in the course of their
careers. As we enter 2006, it seems that the attitudes that drive
these decisions are changing.
'North/south collide' is an extensive study into changing
patterns in the British workforce. Commissioned by ntl:Telewest
Business, the study was carried out by the Centre for Business
Research at Manchester Business School, and aimed to discover the
trends - and their causes -affecting career decisions in
Britain.
Our aims
The aim of the study from ntl:Telewest Business'
perspective was to understand the attitudes of the British
workforce towards these factors:
- Location: Attitudes to employment and
residential location, flexibility and work type
- Skills: Employment patterns, required skills,
and prospects by age and social background.
