David Craddock examines the role that employee share schemes can play in contributing to the levelling-up agenda in the context of the commitment given by the British Government to the electorate in the regions, whether urban, rural, or coastal. David identifies the unique characteristics of employee share schemes in reducing inequality, addressing the deficiencies in industrial management, marrying individual motivation and the entrepreneurial mindset with business development, and restoring cohesion to local communities. He explains how employee share schemes, when properly implemented, can contribute to both formal education as well as self-education, and raise aspirations by opening the channels for social mobility and life fulfilment, with implications for economic growth, regional policy, the housing market, local self-help groups and sustainability projects.
