Overview: The purpose of this paper is to inform the development of rural policy by analysing the available evidence on productivity in rural areas. The Government's role in rural areas is to support enterprise; tackle rural social exclusion; provide fair access to services; and protect the natural environment for this and future generations. Several issues have been identified which may require specific solutions, one of which is tackling poor productivity where it exists. As this paper will demonstrate, whilst the majority of rural areas are experiencing relatively high levels of economic prosperity and low levels of social exclusion, the picture is not homogeneous. It is possible to identify areas that have consistently lower rates of productivity than others.
