Sheffield is divided into East and West, with differences in jobs and incomes. The West has higher paying jobs and incomes, while the East has fewer jobs and lower incomes. This leads to social tensions and unequal access to resources like education and healthcare. Economic disparities affect everyone and widen the gap between rich and poor areas. Solutions include creating more job opportunities, providing training and support, improving infrastructure, and supporting diverse industries. Collaboration between government, business, and communities is needed to create a more equitable city. Welcome to my presentation on the East West divided Sheffield and the effect on employment. Sheffield is divided into East and West with noticeable differences in jobs, incomes and opportunities. In the West there are more higher paying jobs and higher incomes, while the East faces changes with fewer jobs, opportunities and lower incomes. In the West you'll find more people working in offices and professional roles, whilst in the East jobs are often in factories or involve manual labour, which in balance means some areas have more stable jobs and better prospects than others. The difference in jobs leads to differences in income. People in the West generally earn more and have a higher standard of living, while those in the East struggle with lower incomes and financial difficulties. Economic disparities can create social tensions and affect access to resources like education and healthcare. Children in poorer areas may face challenges in school, perpetuating a cycle of inequality. In parts of the city you face economic hardship, it affects everybody, unemployment and unutilised skills means that the city even reaches for potential unequal investment further widening the gap between the rich and poor areas. We can see this not only in Sheffield but throughout the globe and one key example is Manhattan and the Bronx and how they have massive differences. Solutions for this could be creating more job opportunities in both the East and West Sheffield, providing training and support to help people develop skills and encouraging entrepreneurship and opening up businesses in certain areas that are under-served. Additionally we could invest in improving infrastructures and amenities in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, enhance transportation links to connect East and West Sheffield and make it more like one city and support a diverse range of industries to build a resilient economy. Solving these challenges requires a collaboration between government, business and communities. Policy interventions such as fair employment practices and targeted investments can help create an equitable city. By working together and implementing targeted strategies we can bridge economic divides and create a brighter future for all residents of Sheffield.
