Purpose of this session • To present readily available data from trusted sources • To discuss how useful this is in the region for regional and strategic purposes • To identify alternative sources of data • To consider means to share data
The NINO dataset is produced quarterly by DWP: • Advantages • updated every quarter • easy to access • breaks down by nationality and Local Authority District • trend data back several years • comprehensive, operational data rather than a survey • Disadvantages • doesn’t take de-registrations into account • very limited demographic data • focus is on employment issues
The Workers’ Registration Scheme is operated by the Employment Service • Advantages • updated every quarter • breaks down by nationality and Local Authority District • trend data back several years • covers a useful range of variables – age, industry, occupational level, dependents, length of stay, hours worked per week, gender – as well as nationality and location • Disadvantages • limited to A2 and A8 countries • only accessible with a .gov.uk e-mail address • limited to employees of those companies which have registered for WRS - a voluntary process
HESA publishes data about numbers of students in the region • Advantages • updated annually • data published by University and by subject of study • data also shows disability (by category) and level of qualification • Disadvantages • limited range of demographic variables
NHS publishes data about numbers of people registered with individual GPs • Advantages • regularly updated • easy to access • comprehensive, operational data rather than a survey • ‘Flag 4’ shows whether the registrant is a UK national or not • Disadvantages • very limited data about demographics or ethnicity
