INTRODUCTION
The ‘North South divide’ in England is being defined as the differences being present in the southern
and northern England. On the different basis like cultural, social, demographic and many other basis, there is a
lot of difference within the working pattern and living standard of people in both north and south England.
Thus, there is a necessity to identify the areas on which these differences are more and to develop the strategies
for removing the difference within the north and south divide.
Aim
“To analyse whether there is north south divide present in England or not.”
