Dealing with Labour Market Immobility: West Midlands
![Page 15: Labour Market Adjustment, Knowledge Economies and the Patchwork Nation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681658f550346895dd85ce5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Riverland Futures Taskforce
• Riverland Futures Taskforce – $20m structural adjustment fund established by SA Government (Riverland Sustainable Futures Fund)
• Now administered through RDA Committee – Limited take up, slow take up
• What subsidiarity?• And does it address the region’s fundamental needs in an era of capital mobility?
![Page 16: Labour Market Adjustment, Knowledge Economies and the Patchwork Nation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681658f550346895dd85ce5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other Pathways?
• Costs of structural adjustment for individuals and communities
• Mining boom – Displaced tourism, manufacturing, some services – Social costs for FIFO workers and their communities
– Not been accompanied by a substantial investment in the generation of a knowledge economy
