About this dataset This page presents experimental analysis related to green jobs and skills in London, using online job postings data provided by Lightcast. This near real-time data can be used to help track and assess the demand for green expertise in London. When using outputs from this analysis it is important to be aware of the following caveats: The methodology used to identify green job postings remains experimental and subject to revision. Online job postings may not fully reflect the overall composition of vacancies in the London labour market, as the number of vacancies is more evenly distributed across occupational groups in other data sources. The analysis is not intended to be comprehensive or exhaustive. It is a snapshot analysis of key data as it pertains to London. The analysis does not represent the full body of evidence on which Mayoral Policies are, or will be, based. Outputs should be triangulated with other sources of information and analysis to develop a rounded statistical picture of any specific policy issues.

This workbook contains supporting data and information that sits behind GLA Economics Working Paper 99. It sets out a working list of 'green' UK SOC2010 occupations (at the four-digit or unit group level). These occupations have been identified based on a mapping exercise between US (O*NET) and UK (SOC 2010) occupational taxonomies using a crosswalk derived from the LMI for All API. This exercise involves a degree of judgement and the list of green occupations remains subject to development. Tables 3-4 include a range of indicators on employment, skills and qualification levels, and pay for green occupations (subject to data availability). Table 5 provides more detail on the mapping between the US and UK occupational taxonomies. Tables 6-7 outline some of the green tasks/skills that are likely to see an increase in demand as a result of occupational greening (based on the original US research). Please note: this workbook includes modelled estimates. Users are advised to consult the ‘Notes’ and ‘Summary of indicators’ sheets as well as the methodology section in the Working Paper.

The 2014 London Business Survey (LBS) is an innovative survey designed by the Office for National Statistics, on behalf of the London Enterprise Panel and the GLA. The survey collected information from a representative sample of private sector businesses in London in May-July 2014. This dataset contains information on skills, training, and apprenticeships corresponding with Section 7 of the London Business Survey 2014: Main Findings report. Information is provided on: London businesses that did upskilling, training and development of their employees, and the number of employees that working for such businesses. The sources of training used by London businesses, including on-the-job learning, in-house training courses, and long and short courses with external providers Business use of external providers of long courses including further education colleges, adult education colleges, universities and other private businesses London Businesses employing apprentices Business awareness and receipt of grants available for apprenticeships London businesses employing staff with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills As with any survey, the 2014 LBS is based on a sample and as such is subject to variability in the results. Care should therefore be taken in interpreting the survey findings. For all estimates, lower and upper limits of 95% confidence intervals are provided in the data files to assist with interpretation. The LBS results represent the population of business units in London. A business unit is defined as a site/workplace, which may also be a head office if the head office is in London. It will be the whole business in the case of businesses which only have one site, or part of the business in the case of multi-site firms. The results are presented by enterprise size band and industry sector.

The Greater London Authority’s responses to national government consultations relating to adult education, skills, and employment provision.

Ask Research were commissioned to undertake research on the delivery of transferable skills through GLA adult skills funding in London. This research aims to improve the GLA's understanding on the delivery and impact of transferable skills on learners' economic and social outcomes. It provides a qualitative deep dive into the need for and impact of transferable skills provision and the challenges, approaches to and success factors in the delivery of transferable skills. This report includes recommendations for the GLA, providers and employers on how to engender a more consistent understanding and delivery of transferable skills and how to support more Londoners to gain these vital skills.

These workbooks contain the supporting data that sits behind GLA Economics Current Issues Notes 58 and 59. The Government recently set out plans for a ‘skills-based’ immigration system post-Brexit. To inform debate, GLA Economics has produced two Current Issues Notes aimed at understanding which areas of London’s labour market are likely to be most affected by the proposals. Current Issues Note 58: Which occupations may be most affected by the new £30,000 minimum salary and RQF3+ skills threshold proposals? Who works in these roles? How does the list of affected occupations change as the salary threshold is reduced towards £21,000? Current Issues Note 59: In which occupations is the greatest disruption most likely from the proposed £30,000 minimum salary and RQF3+ skills threshold proposals? Notes: These workbook bring together supporting data from the Office for National Statistic (ONS) that sits behind this work; for reference purposes, they also set out some of the modelled estimates used in our analysis. Please be aware: these modelled estimates have been produced with restrictions on data availability and are based on a number of simplifying assumptions. Our approach to data imputation is set out in detail in Current Issues Notes 58 and 59 and described only briefly in these workbooks. For further information users are advised to consult the notes provided in each workbook and the original ONS data publications.
