Abstract: The UK has one of the poorest productivity performances and highest spatial inequalities among the OECD's 38 advanced economies and this has been made worse by Covid-19. If policymakers return to the same economic structures post-pandemic that failed to resolve the productivity problem pre-pandemic, then the UK is set for another decade of a low-growth, low-productivity and low-wage economy.
