Open in new tab What this paper seeks to argue is that claims that land reform (and particularly the reform of large estates and the uplands) would harm rural employment is only sustainable if policymakers disregard the impact of alternative uses of that land and the employment potential that creates. It does so by looking at a range of alternative uses for the land, describes the jobs which could be created and in each case seeks to make a broad estimate of the following:
― What is an estimated salary for that job?
― How many hectares of land would be
required to create one job
― Very broadly, what kind of total numbers of
jobs might Scotland sustain?
