GLA Demography has published 2016-based employment-led projections for London which provide population projections which are consistent with the employment projection scenarios published by GLA Economics. However, this should be viewed as an experimental output which may not be updated in the future. In addition to the raw data for this set of population projections, we have also produced a methodology document which explains how these projections were produced. GLA Demography produces a variety of different types of population projections in order to meet the needs of a wide range of users. To see our full range of population projections, please visit our Population and household projections homepage.

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 London’s private sector workforce and recruitment by London businesses corresponding with Section 3 of the London Business Survey 2014: Main Findings report. Information is provided on: The number of employees working in London businesses by gender The change in the number of employees compared to 12 months ago, and the outlook for the next 12 months Reasons for a rise or fall in the number of employees Recruitment, including whether London businesses have recruited via Job Centre Plus (JCP), and the perceived suitability of these candidates For statistics on the number of full-time and part-time employees working in London, the ONS’s Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES)is the recommended official source. 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.

This report by GLA City Intelligence (the latest update of which was published in January 2024) brings together a wide range of outcome data relevant to the work of the Mayor and the London Assembly, which will also be of interest to other stakeholders in London. The aim is to provide readers with a high-level summary of the latest trends in each topic area – these include: Demography The economy and labour market Community participation and engagement Crime and safety The environment Housing Income, poverty and destitution Transport and digital infrastructure Young people and education Health, wellbeing and inequalities. Datasets have been selected that update relatively frequently and without too great a lag but not all fit these criteria. While comprehensive in its coverage, it is by no means exhaustive and links to further information are provided with each chapter. A health and wellbeing chapter has been added to the latest edition. As new datasets are released, the charts in the report will be updated on the accompanying State of London Dashboard. The Dashboard is in Beta form while it continues to be developed. We welcome feedback on both the report and the Dashboard via email to: intelligence@london.gov.uk.

A London series by industry and a borough series (no industry) 1984 to 2011. These data have been used by GLA Economics to forecast long-term employment projections and within GLA Economics' models for exports, tourism and life sciences. The two series are: 1. London Employment Jobs: a London level series which includes Employee Jobs and Self-Employment Jobs from 1984 to 2010 with industries by GLA Economics sectors on a SIC 2007 basis 2.

In 2014 the Office for National Statistics (ONS) designed the London Business Survey (LBS), on behalf of the London Enterprise Panel and the GLA. In 2021 the GLA requested an alternative to the London Business Survey, to provide a snapshot of businesses in London without the use of a bespoke survey. As such the ONS - London team has compiled various published datasets from multiple sources into a singular workbook. It is important to note that all data in this workbook is already in the public realm and has been compiled into this format for the convenience of users. As part of this project some bespoke adhoc data requests were produced to best match the original questions from the 2014 survey questions (where possible). Data is provided at the London or local authority level where it is published, however there are some cases where data is limited to the national level. Data is provided for the most recent year available. This varies by dataset.
