It offers an innovative and evidenced-based set of priorities on how Liverpool City Region and the UK can harness its economic potential and overcome the challenges presented by COVID-19 to create a more equal, greener, fairer, and thriving economy.
The report highlights and recommends action and investment on four specific priority sectors, which it says present unique opportunities to accelerate the region’s recovery: the social economy, the self-employed and micro businesses, the care sector, and the green economy.
Drawing on a comprehensive research data set, combined with “on the ground” experience of business and communities, the report provides insights into how the global Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the Liverpool City Region’s economy, business ecosystem, and the people at the heart of its communities and presents a road map to achieve an inclusive and more equitable economic recovery.
Published by leading social enterprise, The Women’s Organisation, in conjunction with academic advisor Professor Tom Cannon, the report emphasises that priorities should also be to embed inclusivity, diversity, and gender equality within these sectors and that there should be a shift in reimagining how we measure economic wealth.
It shines a light on how challenges faced by specific marginalised groups of society – including BAME people, women, and disabled people – have been deepened by the pandemic, and that due to pre-existing inequalities, different members of the community are experiencing unparalleled socio-economic crises differently and often disproportionately.
Maggie O’Carroll, CEO of The Women’s Organisation, says: “It is essential that any economic recovery plan considers and places a firm emphasis on doing things differently and focusing on areas that will be transformational and produce economic and social gains.
“Failure to do so will only serve to delay the recovery, widen existing inequalities, and entrench them even further, which would be a socio-economic disaster on a regional and national scale.”
O’Carroll is also quick to emphasise that the immediate crisis is far from over and we must keep the local and national lens on the immediate crisis, whilst planning for local and national economic recovery.
Emeritus Professor Tom Cannon, The University of Liverpool, says: “This report addresses the impact of COVID-19 on the Liverpool City Region and its business ecosystem in a thoughtful, systematic, and solidly empirical way. Crucially, it has the courage to look forward creatively not only at the challenges but at the opportunities facing the local economy.
“The report presents a solid case for moving forward on two interconnected levels. First dealing with the continuing threat of Covid. Second building an economy based on; widening opportunities as happened after the last recession, rethinking ways of organising business, exploiting new opportunities notably the green and knowledge economy. Its core strength lies on practical proposals for action while avoiding blame and the backward look seen too often elsewhere.
"O relatório merece muita atenção de todos os formuladores de políticas da região da cidade e além, refletindo a organização da mulher e a determinação da região da cidade em avançar, ciente de que o bom negócio é um bom negócio. Particularmente em termos de reposicionamento do setor de assistência como um setor prioritário-chave, essencial para nossa economia e comunidades. Aqui no Wirral Council, vemos o quão importante é o investimento no setor de assistência e fomos os primeiros na região da cidade de Liverpool a implementar o salário real dos trabalhadores de cuidados. Tenho o prazer de adicionar meu apoio a este relatório e exortará colegas da região da cidade a considerar seriamente as recomendações que ela faz. ”
Cllr Janette Williamson, Leader of Wirral Council, says: “This report offers up an innovative and much-needed fresh take on building back not only better, but different, to create a truly sustainable and inclusive regional economy – particularly in terms of re-positioning the care sector as a key priority sector, essential to both our economy and communities.
“The scale and nature of investment called for in this report is long over-due and targeting areas such as care and social enterprise makes good economic sense and will achieve enormous return on investment. Here at Wirral Council we see how important investing in the care sector is and we were the first across the Liverpool City Region to implement the real living wage for care workers. I am delighted to add my support to this report and would urge colleagues across the City Region to seriously consider the recommendations it makes.”
