Measuring Regional Economies: Visualising the data Dev Virdee Head of Regional Economic Analysis Division Office for National Statistics United Kingdom dev.virdee@ons.gov.uk
2
The Office for National Statistics – our role To improve understanding of life in the UK & enable informed decisions through trusted, relevant and independent statistics & analysis. Work with colleagues in policy departments to pull together data sources and statistical pictures of a wide range of areas, e.g. Labour market, Economy, Population, Health. Used by local and national government and others to guide policy and monitor impact. Make statistics widely accessible on paper and the internet to enable the public, communities, academia and other bodies to understand statistics about the UK.

Deprivation and Ethnicity
19
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Introduction Data Sources: –Population Census - Question on Ethnicity gives information on Ethnic Mix of an area. –Indices of Multiple Deprivation Aim of Analysis: - To look at variations between regions of the spread of ethnic groups across the different levels of deprivation
20
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Whole population England: deciles (10 per cent groupings) Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England
21
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Indian Group England: Tendency to live in more deprived areas Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England
22
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Indian Group Largest proportions of Indians in London. Contrasting with national pattern - more spread across deprivation scale, most living in medium deprivation areas. Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England London
23
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Indian Group West Midlands: Generally lower proportions than in London, although above national average overall. Highest proportions in more deprived areas. Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England West Midlands London
24
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Indian Group Yorkshire & the Humber: Below national baseline in all areas, with higher concentrations in more deprived areas. Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England Yorkshire and Humber West Midlands London
25
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Indian Group South East – Below national average proportions, concentrated in medium deprivation areas. Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England Yorkshire and Humber West Midlands London South East
26
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Bangladeshi Group Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proportion (baseline = 100) England Yorkshire and Humber West Midlands London South East London over 17 times England
27
Deprivation & Ethnicity: Chinese Group Relative Proportions compared with baseline 0.0 100.0 200.0 300.0 400.0 500.0 600.0 700.0 800.0 900.0 1000.0 Most deprived Least deprived Level of Deprivation Relative Proporion (baseline = 100) England Yorkshire and Humber West Midlands London
28
Summary Differences between and within regions Indian Group in London and South East concentrated in middle of deprivation scale Chinese group represented evenly across all levels of deprivation Some Ethnic Groups more likely to live in deprived areas within all regions: Proportion of Bangladeshis 17 times higher in most deprived areas of London, and 4 times across England as a whole Black Africans & Black Caribbeans 2.5 times as likely to live in most deprived areas across England, much higher in some regions
29
Analysing differences in Regional Economic Performance
30
Drivers of Productivity Government has identified following drivers for Regional Productivity: Innovation Enterprise Investment Skills Competition The challenge is – how do we measure them, particularly at regional level?
31
Regional Economic Indicators ONS – Regional Economic Indicators article in Economic & Labour Market Review Main Indicators (examples): Innovation Regional Research & Development Enterprise VAT registrations Investment Gross Fixed Capital Formation Skills Qualifications Competition Regional Trade Statistics
32
Regional Economic Indicators – some results Innovation: Research & Development as percentage of GVA East of England highest at 3.5% of GVA London, North East, Yorkshire & the Humber below 0.5%
33
Competition: Regional Trade in Goods: Absolute (£ millions) distribution quite different from exports as percentage of Gross Value Added (GVA) Regional Economic Indicators – some results
34
Analysis - Productivity or GVA(GDP) per capita? The perception of relative regional performance can change depending on the measure of regional performance that is chosen Differences within regions can be as important as differences between regions Several factors explain the gap between regions
35
UK regional disparities in economic performance are significant… UK average GVA – Gross Value Added – measure of economic activity
36
.. but how different depends on the criteria we use to measure “performance”….. (UK average)
37
GVA per hour worked, the preferred measure of productivity, shows smaller gap between regions (UK average)
38
Explaining the differences: UK average (UK average)
39
Explanatory factors: Hours worked per job (UK average) Hours worked per job
40
Explanatory factors: Employment/Labour Force (UK average) Employment rate
41
Explanatory factors: Commuting (UK average) Commuting rate
42
Explanatory factors: Labour Force/Population (UK average) Activity rate
43
Main findings The perception of relative regional performance can change depending on the measure of productivity that is chosen Differences within regions can be as important as differences between regions Several factors explain the gap between regions: in the North East, all working in one direction East of England and South East - good exploitation of geographical location, skills, innovation, transport and infrastructure
44
Key differences in regional economic performances – GVA per head, per filled job and per hour worked
45
Key differences in regional economic performances – GVA per hour worked
46
Key differences in regional economic performances – Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) per head
47
Differences within/between regions Sub-regions (NUTS2, NUTS3 areas) City regions Labour Market Areas/Travel to Work Areas Urban-rural divide Other geographical areas GVA, productivity, GDHI, labour market indicators show variation within the overall regional picture
48
Differences within/between regions – NUTS2 GVA per head
49
Differences within/between regions – NUTS3 GVA per head GVA per head ….… vs Productivity Commuter Viewer
