Legal aid in the North
The area is wide and diverse and faces important social challenges:
- in the North West, eligibility for legal aid is higher than average
- around 20% of the North East, Yorkshire & Humberside working population are unemployed or claiming incapacity benefits
- employment in the North West is below the UK average and there are pockets of particularly high unemployment, such as Merseyside
- the North East has some of the lowest proportion of disposable household income.
Visit these government websites for more statistics about the North region:
- Government Office: Yorkshire & Humberside
- Government Office: North West
- Government Office: North East.
