Regions designated by government to receive financial incentives for regeneration due to high unemployment are called what?

• A. Enterprise zones
• B. assisted areas
• C. growth corridors
• D. industrial parks

Answer: (B)

Assisted areas are regions designated by government to receive financial incentives to revive economies and reduce unemployment. By qualifying for subsidies, tax breaks, or grants, these areas aim to attract investment and create jobs where unemployment is high. Enterprise zones also offer incentives but aren’t defined specifically by unemployment levels, while growth corridors focus on strategic growth along routes, and industrial parks are about building a site for business activity rather than a formal unemployment-led designation.
