Created with a 500 meter side hexagon grid, we undertook a regression analysis creating a correlation matrix utilising a number of demographic indicators from the Local Insight OCSI platform. This dataset is showing the distribution of metrics that were found to have the strongest relationships, with the base comparison metric of At risk employees (as a result of COVID-19) by employee residence. This dataset contains the following metrics:At risk employees (as a result of COVID-19) by employee residence - Shows the proportion of employees that are at risk of losing their jobs following the outbreak of COVID-19 - calculated based on the latest furloughing data from the ONS and the employee profile for each local authority. The data is derived from Wave 2 of the ONS Business Impact of Coronavirus Survey (BICS) which contains data on the furloughing of workers across UK businesses between March 23 to April 5, 2020 see https://www.ons.gov.uk/generator?uri=/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/furloughingofworkersacrossukbusinesses/23march2020to5april2020/574ca854&format=csv for details. This data includes responses from businesses that were either still trading or had temporarily paused trading. This has been mapped against the industrial composition of employee jobs at OA, LSOA, MSOA and Local Authority level to estimate which are most exposed to labour market risks associated with the Covid-19. The industrial composition of employee jobs is based on the employee place of residence rather than where they work. The data on the industrial composition of local areas comes from the 2011 Census Industrial classification, which is publicly accessible via NOMIS. The methodology is adapted from the RSA at-risk Local Authorities publication - https://www.thersa.org/about-us/media/2020/one-in-three-jobs-in-parts-of-britain-at-risk-due-to-covid-19-local-data-reveals This approach calculates the total number of employees at risk in each local area by identifying the number of employees in each industry in that area (based on employee residence) multiplied by the estimated percentage of those that have been furloughed on the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). The CRJS was set up by the Government specifically to prevent growing unemployment and the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) has described furloughed workers as technically unemployed. It therefore looks to be the best available data with which to calculate medium-term employment risk as a result of Covid-19. This is then divided by the total number of employees in each local area (by place of residence) to calculate the percentage of employees at risk of losing their jobs. Note, employees in industry sectors which were not recorded in the ONS Business Impact of Coronavirus Survey (BICS) due to inadequate sample size have not been included in the numerator or denominator for this dataset - these include Agriculture, forestry and fishing, Mining and quarrying, Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, Financial and insurance activities, Real estate activities. Public administration and defence; compulsory social security and activities of households as employers; undifferentiated goods - and services - producing activities of households for own use. Social grade (N-SEC): 2. Lower managerial, administrative and professional occupations - Shows the proportion of people in employment (aged 16-74) in the Approximated Social grade (N-SEC) category: 2. Lower managerial, administrative and professional occupations. An individual's approximated social grade is determined by their response to the occupation questions in the 2011 Census. Rate calculated as = (Lower managerial, administrative and professional occupations (census KS611))/(All usual residents aged 16 to 74 (census KS611))*100.IoD 2019 Education, Skills and Training Rank - The Indices of Deprivation (IoD) 2019 Education Skills and Training Domain measures the lack of attainment and skills in the local population. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two sub-domains are designed to reflect the 'flow' and 'stock' of educational disadvantage within an area respectively. That is the 'children and young people' sub-domain measures the attainment of qualifications and associated measures ('flow') while the 'skills' sub-domain measures the lack of qualifications in the resident working age adult population ('stock'). Children and Young People sub-domain includes: Key stage 2 attainment: The average points score/scaled score of pupils taking reading writing and mathematics Key stage 2 exams; Key stage 4 attainment: The average capped points score of pupils taking Key stage 4; Secondary school absence: The proportion of authorised and unauthorised absences from secondary school; Staying on in education post 16: The proportion of young people not staying on in school or non-advanced education above age 16 and Entry to higher education: The proportion of young people aged under 21 not entering higher education. The Adult Skills sub-domain includes: Adult skills: The proportion of working age adults with no or low qualifications women aged 25 to 59 and men aged 25 to 64; English language proficiency: The proportion of working age adults who cannot speak English or cannot speak English well women aged 25 to 59 and men aged 25 to 64. Data shows Average LSOA Rank, a lower rank indicates that an area is experiencing high levels of deprivation.Social grade (N-SEC): 1 Higher managerial, administrative and professional occupations - Shows the proportion of people in employment (aged 16-74) in the Approximated Social grade (N-SEC) category: 1 Higher managerial, administrative and professional occupations. An individual's approximated social grade is determined by their response to the occupation questions in the 2011 Census. Rate calculated as = (Higher managerial, administrative and professional occupations (census KS611))/(All usual residents aged 16 to 74 (census KS611))*100.Total annual household income estimate - Shows the average total annual household income estimate (unequivalised). These figures are model-based estimates, taking the regional figures from the Family Resources Survey and modelling down to neighbourhood level based on characteristics of the neighbourhood obtained from census and administrative statistics.Household is not deprived in any dimension - Shows households which are not deprived on any of the four Census 2011 deprivation dimensions. The Census 2011 has four deprivation dimension characteristics: a) Employment: Any member of the household aged 16-74 who is not a full-time student is either unemployed or permanently sick; b) Education: No member of the household aged 16 to pensionable age has at least 5 GCSEs (grade A-C) or equivalent AND no member of the household aged 16-18 is in full-time education c) Health and disability: Any member of the household has general health 'not good' in the year before Census or has a limiting long term illness d) Housing: The household's accommodation is either overcrowded; OR is in a shared dwelling OR does not have sole use of bath/shower and toilet OR has no central heating. These figures are taken from responses to various questions in census 2011. Rate calculated as = (Household is not deprived in any dimension (census QS119))/(All households (census QS119))*100.Occupation group: Professional occupations - Shows the proportion of people in employment (aged 16-74) working in the Occupation group: Professional occupations. An individual's occupation group is determined by their response to the occupation questions in the 2011 Census. Rate calculated as = (Professional occupations (census KS608))/(All usual residents aged 16 to 74 in employment the week before the census (census KS608))*100.Social grade (N-SEC): 1.2 Higher professional occupations - Shows the proportion of people in employment (aged 16-74) in the Approximated Social grade (N-SEC) category: 1.2 Higher professional occupations. An individual's approximated social grade is determined by their response to the occupation questions in the 2011 Census. Rate calculated as = (Higher professional occupations (census KS611))/(All usual residents aged 16 to 74 (census KS611))*100.Sport England Market Segmentation: Competitive Male Urbanites - proportion of people living in the area that are classified as Competitive Male Urbanites in the Sports Market Segmentation.Net annual household income estimate after housing costs - Shows the average annual household income estimate (equivalised to take into account variations in household size) after housing costs are taken into account. These figures are model-based estimates, taking the regional figures from the Family Resources Survey and modelling down to neighbourhood level based on characteristics of the neighbourhood obtained from census and administrative statistics.
