- urbanisation - rural to urban movement for jobs
- 1900's the north and west started to move to the south and east
- primary and secondary started to decline in the north and west
- tertiary and quaternary in the south and east increased
- primary = agriculture. secondary = manufacturing and development
- tertiary = market trade and selling. quaternary = services
- if people are in demand, pay will increase
- if jobs are in demand pay will decrease
- lots of low skilled workers moved into large urban settlements on the coal fields of northern England, central Scotland and south wales
- lots of workers in heavy engineering industry and ship building in urban areas, moved to rivers and coasts
- the shift towards the south - 1920's
- southern areas = prosperous jobs, higher pay, higher skills, mass transport system and links, higher birth rates in northern cities
- more potential job seekers, high worker:job ratio, decline in the farming workforce
