Abstract

Grime E. K. and Starkie D. N. M. (1968) New jobs for old: An impact study of a new factory in Furness, Reg. Studies 2, 57–67. Most of the work on regional planning has been of a general nature using as a basis published sources. More research on Development Areas is required at the local level to gain a better understanding both of the true nature of labour markets and of the impact that new firms have on communities. Investigation at this level, as this study indicates, does not always confirm preconceived notions regarding the sources from which new entrant plants locating in Development Areas are likely to obtain their labour force.
