Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In a growing number of countries, it has been seen that regional governments have been encouraging businesses to relocate from metropolises to less developed areas. While the movement of companies to regional areas can boost employment and expand those places, businesses might face some challenges in terms of employing a skilled workforce and profits which might constitute relevant disadvantages.
On the one hand, the decision of local Governments to attract businesses to regional areas is likely to be economically and socially advantageous for locals. With regards to the former, the establishment of new industries in non-centralised areas, such as towns, villages or more rural places undoubtedly results in more jobs and can be a solution for high unemployment rates seen outside urban areas. Also, more jobs opportunities mean a higher investment in those areas, namely in the construction of new development projects such as houses, schools and hospitals as the number of inhabitants is likely to increase and so will their basic needs. Taking Telford as an example, one of the fastest-growing towns in the UK shows how the movement of businesses from megacities in this case Birmingham, has allowed the expansion of other areas in the country, therefore improving, the national welfare. Consequently, quality of life is enhanced in regional areas which thanks to new industries are developed and so attract more people to live and work.
On the other hand, companies which relocate to regional areas might face pertinent challenges. Firstly, because they are moving to more underpopulated areas, they are less likely to find a highly-skilled workforce. Nowadays, there is no doubt that students and qualified professionals tend to choose well-developed cities because they offer both high-standard universities and better career opportunities, Secondly, companies who move to regional areas may risk a profit growth. This is due to the fact that the former lacks infrastructure such as roads and railways necessary to transport materials for industries. Taking the distribution of ports as an example, these are mostly located next to cities and the sea turning the trade of goods and services far more accessible, quicker and thus cheaper in comparison to more remote areas. Therefore, regional areas may lack essential features that might compromise the profitability of businesses.
In conclusion, there are multiple reasons for the benefit of the movement of businesses to regional areas. However, companies which choose to relocate can face some critical drawbacks which may deter their progress in the future.
