1. Comment on how the data shown for Lincolnshire indicates a need for regeneration. (10 Marks)
The data shown for Lincolnshire indicates that there is a need for regeneration. Firstly, Lincolnshire has the second fewest number of people who are employed out of the six counties at 247 people. It also has the high number of people who are self-employed at 12.3%. This suggests that Lincolnshire few job available, which then forces people to become self-employed if they are unable to find a job working for a company. Furthermore, it only has 332 people who pay tax, which makes it the joint-second county who have the least number of tax payers. This suggests that the people who are employed either work part time, or earn a low wage making them escape the tax bands.
