  10. Estimates and Projections 2001-2011

  11. 2012 Round demographic projections:Greater London

  12. 2010 SNPP migration assumptions

  13. 2010 SNPP migration assumptions Crash

  14. Where were the problems….. • 2001 Census enumeration Likely underestimation of the London population and then subsequent mid-year estimates (MYE). Any underestimate in the 2001 baseline that both ONS and the GLA utilised would have carried through into subsequent years. The extent of the undercount may prove impossible to estimate with any accuracy. • Underestimation of international inflows The methodology ONS used for assigning international in-migrants between local authorities underestimated for London as a whole. • Underestimation of average household size by government sources Household formation rates from DCLG household projections assumed declining average household size.

  15. Forecasts: Out with the old… • Average Household Size future trends • Rethink declining AHS trend particularly in the short term • More sophisticated trend based assumptions • Rethink fertility scenarios • Rethink migration scenarios
