About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Scotland population distribution across 18 age groups. It lists the population in each age group along with the percentage population relative of the total population for Scotland. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland by age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group in Scotland.

Key observations

The largest age group in Scotland, GA was for the group of age 5-9 years with a population of 80 (16.74%), according to the 2021 American Community Survey. At the same time, the smallest age group in Scotland, GA was the 80-84 years with a population of 0 (0.00%). Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Scotland by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.

Key observations

There is a majority of male population, with 54.21% of total population being male. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

• Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
• Population: The population of the gender in the Scotland is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Scotland total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.

This dataset has been created for use in the paper "A Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Fair Electoral Redistricting in Parliamentary Systems" which aims to propose a new method for electoral districting using a reinforcement-learning approach, based on a graph grouping algorithm proposed by Zhou et al. (2016) [1]. The code used for the project can be found on GitHub here.

The ward demographic data comes from the UK 2011 census and is provided by NOMIS, Scotland's Census and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. All electoral wards for England and Wales use the 2011 boundaries available from the ONS, Scotland uses the 2014 boundaries from Boundaries Scotland and Northern Ireland uses the 1993 boundaries from OpenDataNI (distributed under the Open Government License). Constituency demographic data is generated by combining the ward data into their respective constituencies.

Ward-level election results have then been generated using this demographic data with an ordinary least squares linear regression model, based on the constituency-level election results from the 2017 general election. The results in this dataset are not identical to the real election results but should remain sufficiently close to demonstrate many applications of the dataset itself. Below is the list of parties included in the dataset and their predicted seats: - Conservatives (321) - Labour (260) - SNP (33) - Liberal Democrats (13) - DUP (10) - Sinn Fein (7) - Plaid Cymru (3) - Green (1) - UKIP (0) - SDLP (0) - UUP (0) - Alliance (0) - Independents & Speaker (2)

All wards and constituencies are referred to using their ONS code, (England E05 / E14, Wales W05 / W06, Scotland S13 / S14, Northern Ireland N08 / N06), except for the City of London, which has been merged into one ward and uses the London borough boundaries (E09) due to the data available from the 2011 census.

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Scotland by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Scotland. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland by gender and age.

Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 11 No 14 The interim Population Consequence of Disturbance (iPCoD) is a framework that allows individual-level effects from disturbance to be scaled to population-level impacts. This approach is parameterised by published figures for specific UK populations or derived from the literature for a given species. The original iPCoD model was developed in 2013, with subsequent reviews of the recommended demographic input parameters in 2014 and 2017. This current report by SMRU Consulting establishes the most up-to-date information on five key species of UK marine mammal (harbour porpoise, bottlenose dolphin, minke whale, harbour seal and grey seal) for use in the iPCoD model. The report also examines the sensitivity of model output to potential misspecification in the various input parameters that are obtained via expert elicitation. Two approaches were used in the sensitivity testing: the effect of changing the value of a single parameter independently of the others and the effect of adjusting all the demographic parameters systematically to compare scenarios with the same population trajectory but different combinations of demographic parameters. The observed sensitivity to misspecification is complex, however, in general, the demographic parameter most sensitive to this issue was pup/calf survival. However, the sensitivities identified were only apparent at relatively high (and somewhat unrealistic) levels of impact, and therefore SMRU Consulting conclude that the metric of counterfactual of population size, which is presented in impact assessments, is robust to misspecification in demographic rates. Several criteria are still to be explored, such as the sensitivity of alternative output metrics, a wider range of impact scenarios and the effect of any density-dependence. Future directions and recommendations for the iPCoD approach are also suggested. The updated demographic parameters will improve assessments, and will now be available in time for the upcoming ScotWind leasing round. Where the sensitivity analysis has identified sources of variability and uncertainty in outputs, this will aid interpretation of assessments by advisors and decision makers. The project was undertaken by SMRU Consulting and funded by Scottish Government.

There were almost 695,000 live births recorded in the United Kingdom in 2021, compared with almost 682,000 in the previous year. Between 1887 and 2021, the year with the highest number of live births was 1920, when there were approximately 1.13 million births, while the year with the fewest births was 1977, when there were approximately 657,000 births. Birth rate falls to a historic low in 2020 At 10.2 births per 1,000 people, the birth rate of the United Kingdom in 2020 was at a historic low. After witnessing a twenty-first century high of 12.9 in 2010, the birth rate gradually declined before a sharp decrease was recorded between 2012 and 2013. Although there was a slight uptick in the birth rate in 2021, when there were 10.4 births per 1,000 people, the total fertility rate reached a low of 1.53 births per woman in the same year. As well as falling birth and fertility rates, the average age of mothers has been increasing. In 1991, the average age of mothers at childbirth was 27.7 years, compared with 30.9 years in 2021. UK population reaches 68 million In 2023, the overall population of the United Kingdom reached almost 68.3 million people. Of the four countries that comprise the UK, England has by far the highest population, at 57.7 million, compared with almost 5.5 million in Scotland, 3.2 million in Wales, and 1.9 million in Northern Ireland. These countries are far less densely populated than England, especially when compared to London, which had approximately 5,630 people per square kilometer, compared with just 70 in Scotland. After London, North West England was the second-most densely populated area of the UK, which includes the large metropolitan areas of the cities of Manchester, and Liverpool
