The link between area of residence and places of employment in a disadvantaged community
In this study, we investigated the correlation between area of residence and employment opportunities in a disadvantaged community: Lord Selkirk Park in Winnipeg.
We concluded that state-led demand side strategies aimed at employment generation may contribute to a higher level of economically active
residents, as well as citizen participation in the local community. There is substantial potential for increased economic value of targeting employment opportunities to willing job-seeking residents in this community.
