Resilience and the Recession - 22/07/2010

Resilience and the Recession, a new study from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), looks at how people living in six economically vulnerable areas have perceived the early stages of the economic downturn. The study, by Ian Cole and Elaine Batty from The Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University:

  • reports on some of the findings so far from JRF’s poverty and place programme, examining the interaction between ‘poverty’ and ‘place’ in six relatively deprived neighbourhoods across Britain;
  • focuses on the perceptions and experiences of people living in economically vulnerable areas during the early stages of the recession;
  • examines what will make some people, and some communities, more resilient in the face of continuing economic hardship.

You can view and download a copy of the report at the following JRF website link.
