Brendan O’Keeffe September 2019 The Potential of Rural Spaces and Places

“A new OECD report, Promoting Growth in All Regions, provides fresh analysis that shows how relatively backward regions can in fact be potentially important sources of growth, but that a very different approach is needed to tap that potential”

• Urbanisation is associated with higher levels of output but not necessarily faster growth; • Fast-growing less developed regions tend to have higher levels of human capital; • Faster-growing intermediate regions are characterised by better infrastructure, connectivity and innovation; • Addressing the problems of low-skilled workers may matter more than increasing tertiary attainment rates in less developed regions Population of Asdee and Beal EDs, 1911 - 2016
