The More jobs, better jobs partnership between JRF, Leeds City Council and Leeds City Region looks at how poverty can be reduced through jobs and economic growth.

This research records a number of indicators so the progress of the partnership can be measured.

The study:

  • Brings together existing data on trends across key economic, employment and poverty indicators in the Leeds City Region.
  • Makes an impartial assessment of people’s understanding of the economy, employment and poverty, and the plans that are in place to influence these areas.
  • Looks at how Leeds City Region’s economy is likely to develop over the next decade.
