Northern cities head list of UK's low-wage, high-welfare economies

Centre for Cities urges the government to address the geographical divide by continuing to increase investment in regional economies

Almost half of the UK’s biggest cities have low-wage, high-welfare economies, according to a healthcheck on urban Britain that underscores the challenges for the government’s benefit-cutting agenda.

George Osborne used his first budget of the Conservative government last summer to advocate a “higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare country”. But a report published on Monday warns that his vision will take several parliaments to create, given current shortfalls in education, a housing crisis and inefficient jobs programmes.


The Centre for Cities study also highlights a stark north-south divide between conurbations and urges the chancellor to deliver on promises to rebalance Britain’s economy with projects like the “northern powerhouse”.


The independent thinktank’s annual Cities Outlook, covering the UK’s 63 largest cities, classifies 29 as having low-wage, high-welfare economies. Nine of the worst performing city economies on the wages and welfare measure are in the north of England and Midlands, including Hull, Blackburn and Telford.

The report’s authors are urging the government to address the geographical divide by continuing to increase investment in regional economies, while giving cities more control over local tax revenue, skills, infrastructure and housing.

“One of the most pressing issues is the need to tackle skills gaps and improve schools’ attainment, especially in low-wage cities, to help those places attract businesses and jobs, and support more people to move into work, particularly in high-skill sectors,” said chief executive Alexandra Jones.

Jones called for an end to the duplication and other inefficiencies that result from the current system, where spending on employment and skills programmes is not connected to benefit spending.

“Cities also need more powers and incentives to boost jobs and wages. Giving places control over skills and welfare budgets, and allowing them to keep any savings made by reducing the welfare bill, would incentivise local leaders to invest in employment programmes that, if successful, would reduce people’s need for benefits payments.”

The report claims that 14 cities are already delivering “high-wage, low-welfare” economies. They include London, Aberdeen and Cambridge. Eight of the top 10 are in what the thinktank calls the “greater south east”.

The thinktank defines low-wage, high-welfare economies as places where average wages are below the national average, but welfare spending is above. High-wage, low-welfare cities are defined as those where average wages are higher than the national average, and welfare spending is lower.

The report also highlights challenges in high-wage cities, largely stemming from a lack of affordable housing. Welfare spending had grown at a much faster rate in high-wage cities, with benefit payments more than 50% higher than in other places – largely due to high demand for housing resulting in increased housing benefit payments.

“For cities which have seen strong growth in wages and jobs, the focus should be on addressing housing shortages, to ensure that their success isn’t derailed by a lack of affordable homes,” said Jones.


The thinktank warns each of the changes its recommends – improvements in education and skills levels, devolution and integration of budgets and services, and increases in housing supply – will take several years to deliver, and longer still for the full range of benefits to be felt.

“Creating a higher wage, lower welfare economy will, in all likelihood, be the work not of one parliament but of several,” it concludes.
 

The report also adds to evidence that the rapid rise in employment in recent years has not been accompanied by any tangible income growth. The Cities Outlook noted nearly a million new jobs were created in UK cities between 2010 and 2014 but that urban wages fell by 5% in the same period – a decrease in average annual salary of £1,300 per city dweller in real terms.

A spokeswoman for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: “Today’s report is out of date, ignores the latest Office for National Statistics figures showing the employment rate at a record-breaking 74%, and focuses solely on cities, which takes no account of employment growth in large swaths of the country.

“In fact, 1.5 million more people are in work outside London and the south-east compared with 2010, a third of new apprenticeship starts in the last year were in the northern powerhouse, and full-time wages grew faster in areas including Greater Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Worcestershire compared with the national average – even before our new national living wage takes effect in April this year.”

SHINDANO LENYE FURSA YA KUKUZA MITAJI KWA VIJANA LA MO MJASIRIAMALI LAZINDULIWA

Mwenyekiti wa Taasisi wa MO Dewji, Mohammed Dewji

Mwenyekiti wa Taasisi wa MO Dewji, Mohammed Dewji kwa kushirikiana na kampuni ya Darecha Limited leo (jumatatu) wamezindua shindano la Mo Mjasiriamali lenye lengo la kusaidia kukuza ujasiriamali miongoni mwa vijana.

Shindano ya Mo Mjasiriamali litatoa fursa ya ukuzaji wa mitaji, ulezi wa wajasiriamali na mitandao ya biashara kuongeza mwanga, ujasiri na kuzalisha wajasiriamali Tanzania.

“Mimi kama Mjasiriamali kijana na mzaliwa wa Singida vijijini, sikufikiria hata mara moja kama leo ningekuwa Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa moja ya makampuni yaliyofanikiwa sana katika nchi yetu na hata barani Afrika.” Inasema taarifa Mkurugenzi Mtendaji huyo wa MeTL kwa vyombo vya habari mwishoni mwa wiki.

Aidha alisema Afrika ni moja ya bara linalokua kwa haraka na lenye ukuaji imara wa uchumi na amini vijana wa Tanzania wana nafasi kubwa ya kutumia fursa hizo ili kujiletea uchumi endelevu.

Lakini pamoja na ukweli huo changamoto kama za ukosefu wa mitaji, ukuzaji ujasiriamali na mitandao ya biashara zimekatisha tamaa vijana wengi kukuza kwa mafanikio makampuni yao hapa Tanzania na hivyo kupunguza kasi ya ukuaji wa uchumi kwa watu wa kipato cha kati.

Kwa mujibu wa takwimu zilizotolewa na Benki ya maendeleo ya Afrika (ADB), watu wenye kipato cha kati katika bara la Afrika wataongezeka na kufikia watu bilioni 1.1 ifikapo mwaka 2060.

Watu wa kipato cha kati ndio wanaochagiza ukuaji wa uchumi kutokana na mahitaji yao na pia ari ya ujasirimali.

Pamoja na ukweli huo kunachangamoto nyingi zinawakabili watu hao wa kipato cha kati. Mathalani nchini Tanzania changamoto kubwa kwa vijana wajasirimali ni gharama za kutafuta mtaji kwa kazi hizo.

“Kuna haja kubwa ya kuhakikisha kwamba vijana hawa wanaondolewa tatizo la ujasirimali ili waweze kusukuma mbele uchumi wa Tanzania.” inafafanua taarifa hiyo.

Aidha kwa kuwa Tanzania inaelezwa kuwa ni nchi ya 19 katika bara la Afrika kuhusiana na fursa na ujasirimali ipo haja ya kusaidia ili kuiondoa katika nafasi hiyo. Taarifa ya nafasi ya Tanzania imo katika ripoti yake ya mwaka 2014 ya Africa Prosperity Report.

Taarifa ilifafanua zaidi kwamba kutokana na haja hiyo Taasisi ya Mo Dewji na Darecha Limited wameungana pamoja na kuanzisha shindano la Mo Entrepreneurs ili kutambua na kuuenzi mchango wa wajasirimali chipukizi na kufanikisha ndoto zao.

Ili kufanikisha nia ya kuwa na wajasiriamali wengi, shindano hilo linatarajiwa kuwa daraja kwenda kwa Mkurugenzi Mtendaji, Mohammed Dewji (MeTL Group na Mwenyekiti wa Mo Dewji Foundation) ambapo vijana ambao wanaonekana wana kitu cha kufanya, lakini hawana msaada watashiriki kwa lengo la kupata msaada katika mfumo wa mtaji, mtandao na usimamizi wa ukuaji wa shughuli wanayofanya au kutaka kuifanya ili kuianzisha na kuikuza.

Mambo hayo yatatekelezwa katika mfumo wa shindano litakalogusa wajasiriamali ambao wana ari na nia ya dhati ya kuendeleza shughuli walizofikiria na kuzianzisha kwa lengo la kuinua uchumi wao binafsi na wa taifa.

Washindi watatu watakaotangazwa Aprili mwaka huu watapatiwa mtaji wa kuanzia au kuendeleza, pia watapatiwa maarifa ya kuendeleza shughuli zao na kuanzishwa mtandao wa kibiashara na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji Mkuu wa MeTL Group na mwenyekiti wa Mo Dewji Foundation, Mohammed Dewji.

Wakati akipewa tuzo ya Forbes ya mwaka 2015, Mohammed Dewji aliitoa kwa heshima ya vijana akiwatakia kila la heri waking’aa, kuvunja nira ya woga, kukabili changamoto na kuendelea katika ujasiriamali kwa lengo la kufanya dunia yetu mahali bora pa kuishi.
