Abstract
Investment in skills alone is unlikely to be sufficient to ‘level up’ economically poorer performing areas. Our findings suggest that the returns to education in poorerperforming areas are strong, with the benefits of upskilling highly likely to remain within those areas, highlighting the importance of skills investments for the levelling up agenda. However, around a third of the difference in earnings between areas cannot be explained by individual characteristics such as education or skills, highlighting that other features of the areas, aside from the individuals that live there, play an important role in driving earnings. This suggests that complementary investments to improve those features of poorer-performing areas may be required to fully realise the benefits of skills investments, and truly ‘level up’.
