LEP comparisons -4: Summary GM highest performing core city LEP on change over time on prosperity theme total. Notable improvements on employment theme GM in the bottom on the inclusion theme total. Partly a victim of economic success through declining rental affordability affecting living costs dimension

) Conclusions and Methodological issues/ limitations
Conclusions -4: GM Highest core city performer on prosperity theme rd lowest performance on inclusion theme although partly victim of economic success (housing demand and declining rental affordability) Strength of economy remains highly centrally concentrated (Manchester and Salford) Problems of lower growth and job density outside of the centre; Continuing issues of improving connectivity to centre area and skills Degree of Disconnect between prosperity generated and inclusion in central city locality Skill levels and employment participation key to enhancing prosperity and inclusion
Methodological issues and limitations A first attempt to put issues of growth and inclusion on the same page Capturing interconnectedness Understanding impacts on different demographic groups E.g. Gender differences and low pay measures; Ethnic differences in labour market exclusion. Benefit reform and change over time
