Getting off the escalator? A study of Scots out-migration from a global city region case study, Allan Findlay, Donald Houston, David Mccollum, Colin Mason and Richard Harrison
Something new is happening to reverse the historical trend of skilled Scots moving to London for career progression. The Scottish population of London and the South East is falling, despite Scots enjoying continued occupational success within this labour market. This paper asks why Scots are leaving the UK’s main escalator region and investigates how these migration changes can best be theorised relative to literature on the mobility of the ‘new service class’

Patterns and Process of Poverty and Place: New Evidence from the Millennial Census. Published as "Life in Britain" case study, Ben Wheeler, Mary Shaw, Richard Mitchell and Danny Dorling
We used 2001 census data to address aspects of inequalities in five key themes in the UK at the start of the 21st century: Health, Education, Housing, Employment and Poverty. These were chosen as key social issues in the modern UK, and to also reflect the five ‘Giant Evils’ identified by William Beveridge (architect of the UK welfare state): Disease, Ignorance, Squalor, Idleness and Want.

Innovative categorical mapping techniques are used to map the mixing that does or does not occur in early 21st century Britain, for a wide range of census variables as well as data from other sources.
