abstract = {Regional unemployment rates in Great Britain have narrowed dramatically in recent years.
However, significant differences still remain in terms of both employment and economic
inactivity rates, which may now better reflect relative labour market performance. This paper
examines these differences in labour market outcomes using a unified empirical framework
that decomposes regional differences in employment, economic inactivity and unemployment
into components due to either structural or composition effects. The analysis highlights the
important role that ill health and structural deficits currently play in accounting for regional
differences in both employment and economic inactivity rates.},
