Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 3 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile

In 2015 Kildare County Council (KCC) and Kildare Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) worked with the All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO) to prepare a socio economic baseline report based on Census 2011 and other data sets. This report was used to inform the development of the Kildare Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021 (LECP). The following presents one of six reports which updates the original baseline study. It is based on Census 2016 data and other relevant data sets and has also been designed to allow easy comparison with key regional evidence baselines produced by AIRO on behalf of the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly (see EMRA RSES).

Whilst these reports focus on the key economic, community and environmental indicators and provide a certain amount of context relating to each indicator, it is highly recommended that it is not used in isolation to the other data initiatives that Kildare County Council have developed with its research partner, AIRO at Maynooth University. AIRO hosts a detailed census GIS mapping module for Kildare Local Authority on its website that contains hundreds of statistical variables at the Electoral Division (ED) and Small Area (SA) level. All data and mapping results are also available through the Kildare DataHub via www.kildarelcdc.ie.

This section explores the employment profile of Kildare, and focuses on aspects of current employment, industry and occupations. The initial section of this report looks at the overall levels of employment within the Kildare population followed by a detailed profile of the industrial sectors and occupational groups of those at work or unemployed.

Data in this report is presented across a range of comparative geographies, from National level through to Small Area (neighbourhood). For more details on the comparative geographies used in this report see Appendix 1 for details.

Key Facts

1. The labour force participation rate in Kildare is 64.1%, the fourth highest rate in the country. However, there is significant spread around this figure at throughout the county – the highest labour force participation rate in the county is Sallins (74.5%) and the lowest is Suncroft (52.3%).

2. 88.6% of the labour force are 'At Work' in Kildare. This is the fifth highest rate in the country and is mirrored by low unemployment rates (see below). There is, however, an uneven distribution of the labour force 'At Work' throughout Kildare with a significant variance between the highest and lowest rates in the county. The highest rate recorded is found in Straffan (95.8%) and the lowest in Athy (73.4%).

3. In 2016, the unemployment rate in Kildare was 11.4% (12,297 persons out of a labour force of 108,244). The national average unemployment rate was 12.9%. The distribution of unemployment throughout Kildare is uneven with the lowest rate recorded in Straffan (4.2%), while two areas had an unemployment rate of 20% or greater - Athy (26.6%) and Derrinturn (21.9%).

4. In April 2018, 9,389 Kildare residents were recorded on the Live Register. Of this total 11% (1,018) were under 25 years of age. In Athy and Newbridge, the equivalent rate of unemployment for those under 25 is 12%. This rates is higher than the Kildare (11%) average and marginally lower than the national average of 12.6%.

5. In 2015 there were 10,314 active enterprises in Kildare. Of these, only 15 enterprises (0.1%) employed more than 250 persons. A total of 9,598 (93.1%) enterprises employed less than 10 people. This figure is marginally higher than the State average of 92.2%.

Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 4 01/06/2018 12:29:10 Kildare 2016 Census Profile

6. The 15 largest firms employed 13,792 persons (26.7%) of the total Kildare workforce. The 9,598 smallest firms employed 16,027 persons (31.1%).

7. Kildare recorded the highest rate of employment supported by foreign owned (FDI) companies. In 2016, 18.6% or 10,377 of total employment in the Kildare enterprise sector was in foreign owned companies. This is the highest rate in the country followed by Cork (18%) and Galway (17.6%).

8. ‘Commerce and Trade’ (26.6%) and ‘Professional Services’ (22.8%) are the dominant industries involving Kildare residents. Combined, these sectors employ almost 50% (47,443) of all workers (95,947) resident in Kildare.

9. Kildare has the 2nd highest rate of Managers, directors and senior officials (9%) and the 3rd highest rate of Associate professional and technical occupations (13.1%). Both rates exceed the national average for each occupational group by a considerable margin and are reflective of a well educated and highly skilled workforce.

Figure 1: Employment Summary, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO)

Census 2016 enables us to analyse the economic status of all people who are aged 15 and over who are both in and outside of the labour force. The labour force is comprised of all persons at work, looking for their first job or unemployed, while students, homemakers, retired persons and those unable to work are categorised as being not in the labour force. This section will focus on the labour force - overall labour force participation rate, those ‘At Work’ and those ‘Unemployed’ (including those looking for their first job).

The percentage of people aged 15 and over who participate in the labour force - as opposed to having another status such as student, retired or homemaker - is known as the labour force participation rate. It is measured as the number in the labour force (at work or unemployed) expressed as a percentage of the total population aged 15 and over. According to Census 2016, the total labour force residing in Kildare was 108,244 which is equivalent to 64.1% (Labour Force Participation Rate) of the total population 15+ in the county - this is the 4th highest rate in the State. Between 2011 and 2016 the labour force in Kildare also increased by additional 3.8% (+4,018). This rate of increase was marginally above the State average of 3.2%.

The graphic above details the Labour Force Participation rate in Kildare and the State and then provides detail on its constituent parts - those 'At Work' and those 'Unemployed'. As of 2016, Kildare had an ‘At Work’ rate of 88.6% and an ‘Unemployment’ rate of 11.4%. The graphics and maps on the following pages provide more detail on each of these variables and highlights the different trends in place within and across Kildare.

Note: The official State labour force and unemployment estimates are based on the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS). The census results in this report differ for methodological reasons from these official estimates. The chief difference resulting from this is that the Census records an unemployment rate (based on Principal Economic Status) of 12.9% for the State, compared with the official rate (based on ILO criteria) of 8.6% for the State. Notwith- standing these differences, the main strength of the census-based data on employment and unemployment is the provision of data for small geographic areas - which enables the developments and geographical hierarchy graphics on the following pages. 8

Figure 5.2: Percentage Change in Live Register Recipients from October (M04) 2010 to 2018 (M04) (Source: CSO & AIRO) An alternative method of analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment is to use the unadjusted Live -Reg ister figures. The Live Register is not specifically designed to measure unemployment as it includes part-time, seasonal and casual workers. It does, however, allow an analysis of employment trends at both a county level and also at social welfare office (SWO) level (Athy, Maynooth and Newbridge). As of April 2018 the total number of Live Register recipients in Kildare was 9,369. Of this figure, 1,018 (11%) were aged 25 and under while 8,351 (89%) were aged over 25. At Social Welfare Office (SWO) level, Newbridge (4,960) has the highest number of Live Register recipients followed by Maynooth (3,061) and Athy (1,618). Of the recipients aged 25 and under, Athy and Newbridge (both 12%) have the highest rate with Maynooth (8%) recording the lowest rate. The State average rate of recipients aged 25 and under is 12.6%. Since April 2010 the number of Live Register recipients in Kildare has decreased by 8,453 and represents a drop of -75.5%. This rate of decrease is lower than the State (-79.4%) and Mid-East (NUTS III) (-81.5%) averages. 17

Figure 6.2: % FDI Employment in Kildare, 2016 (Source: DBEI & AIRO) The Annual Employment Survey provides an analysis of employment levels in Industrial (including Primary Production) and Services companies under the remit of IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and Údarás na Gael- tachta. As of 2016 there were a total of 17,720 assisted employment jobs in Kildare. As a percentage of total employment, assisted jobs account for 32% of all jobs in Kildare (based on POWCAR Jobs 2016). State assisted jobs in Kildare are based on 59% FDI and 41% Indigenous employment. Across the EMRA SPAs the percentage of State Assisted Jobs that are FDI based are as follows: Dublin (57.6%), Eastern (43.3%) and Mid- land (30.9%). The bottom graphic provides an estimation on the number of known jobs in an area that are FDI based. This graphic is based on a combination of State Assisted data from DBEI and POWCAR 2016 results. Most striking here is the major difference between FDI Jobs rates across the EMRA SPAs with Dublin recording a rate of 14.5% whereas the Midland SPA only has a rate of 5.9%. At the local authority level, Kildare (18.6%), Cork (18%) and Galway (17.6%) have the highest rates in the State (10.4%). In sharp contrast to this are the very low FDI Jobs rates evident in both Meath (3.6%), Monaghan (0.8%) and Laois (0.3%). 18

Figure 7.2: % Active Enterprise in EMRA - SPA and Local Authorities, 2015 (Source: CSO & AIRO) Business Demography* data is made available annually by the CSO and is based on enterprises with employees that are registered with the Revenue Commissioners and that have filed a corporate tax return during the reference year. It is important to note however that Business Demography data generally underestimates the number of enterprises within a county. The reason for this is related to the geography of tax registrations. In 2015 there were 10,314 active enterprises in Kildare. Following a gradual decline in active enterprise between 2008 and 2014 figures are now in line with those in 2008 (10,414). Relative to the State total of 248,843, Kildare accounts for 4.1% of all active enterprises and 8.2% of all active enterprise in the EMRA Area (125,441). As expected, Dublin is the most dominant location for active enterprises at both the SPA and local authority level with a total of 79,537 in 2015.

*Note: The collection methodology behind Business Demography data changed in 2016 meaning that histori- cal figures will not align with previous report figures in reports published before 2016.

EMRA Eastern Kildare

Figure 7.2: % Active Enterprise in Kildare by Sector, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) The distribution of the size of an areas enterprise base is an important indicator and provides details on the dependence on either large enterprises (50 to 250 or 250+ employees) or smaller enterprises (<10, 10 to 19, 20 to 49 employees). Business Demography data from the CSO is broken into five size categories: less than 10 employees; 10 to 19; 20 to 49; 50 to 250; and Over 250. The top left graphic details the distribution of active enterprises by size across Kildare, EMRA and the State - most notable here is the higher proportion of smaller enterprises in Kildare relative to EMRA and the State. The top right graphic details the number of persons engaged by company size within Kildare. Business Demography data is classified using the NACE Rev 2 European method of industrial classification. The bottom graphic details the industrial classification of all active enterprises across Kildare, the Eastern SPA and EMRA area. The three most dominant sectors are ‘Construction’, ‘Wholesale and Retail Trade’ and ‘Professional and Scientific’. There are clear differences between the dominant sectors in EMRA and Kildare/Eastern SPA. In general, ‘Construction’ and ‘Wholesale and Retail Trade’ are more dominant in Kildare, whereas ‘Professional and Scientific’ enterprises are more dominant in the EMRA area. This is as a result of the high number of jobs in this sector which are based in Dublin. 20

Figure 8: Summary - Industry of Employment, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) The term ‘industry’ used for Census of Population purposes is not confined to manufacturing industry. It is synonymous with the term “sector of economic activity”. The basis of the industrial classification is, in the case of employees, the business or profession of their employer and in the case of self-employed persons, the nature of their own business or profession. In Census 2016, industry is coded using NACE – the General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities. The current version, NACE Rev. 2, is a 4-digit activity classification that was first used in Census 2011.

The above graphic details the industrial sector that resident workers of Kildare are employed in. The data is presented across eight broad industrial groups: ‘Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing’, ‘Building and Construction’, ‘Manufactur- ing Industries’, ‘Commerce and Trade’, ‘Transport and Communications’, ‘Public Administration’, ‘Professional Services’ and ‘Other’.

In a similar fashion to the State profile, the most dominant industries of Kildare workers is within the ‘Commerce and Trade’ (26.6%) and ‘Professional Services’ (22.8%) - both accounting for nearly half of all Kildare resident workers. Since Census 2011, the ‘Building and Construction’ industry has witnessed the largest increase (+23.9% or 1,127) and now accounts for 6.1% of all resident workers.

The graphics on the following pages provide further detail on the strengths and distributions of the eight industrial groups within and across Kildare. It is also important to note that this data relates to the industry of workers who reside within Kildare and may in fact commute to other counties for employment opportunities. As such, this is not an analysis of the industry of jobs that are located within Kildare exclusively.

Map 9:Industry - Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) According to Census 2016, the total persons employed in the ‘Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing’ sector in Kil- dare is 3,190 and equates to 3.3% of the total working population within the county. This rate is lower than the State (4.4%) and Eastern SPA (3.6%) and higher than the EMRA (2%) average. Relative to other local authorities, Kildare has the 13th highest number employed in the ‘Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing’ sector in the State and this was the 8th lowest rate. The highest rates in the State are in Cavan (11.3%) and Monaghan (11.2%) and the lowest in Dublin City (0.1%) and South Dublin (0.2%). Since 2011, there has been an increase of 24 (0.7%) additional Kildare workers employed in the sector. At the Municipal District level, a significant variation is evident with highest rates recorded in Athy (7.7%) and Kildare/Newbridge (3.9%). In contrast, much lower rates are found in Celbridge/Leixlip (0.6%), Naas (2.9%), and Maynooth (3%). Rural Kildare (9.3%) recorded a much higher rate then Urban Kildare where the rate was only 1.1%. Across the settlement hierarchy the highest rates are recorded in Kildangan (7%) and Kildare (4.5%). The map provides an illustration of the rates for the ‘ Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing’ sector within and across the Kildare Small Areas (SAs). Highest rates are visible in rural areas with especially high rates found in southern parts of the county. 24

Figure 16: Summary of Occupations, 2016 (Source: CSO & AIRO) The Occupation classifications used in the census are based on the UK Standard Occupational Classification2 (SOC), with modifications to reflect Irish labour market conditions. The code to which a person’s occupation is classified is determined by the kind of work he or she performs in earning a living, irrespective of the place in which, or the pur- pose for which, it is performed. The nature of the industry, business or service in which the person is working has no bearing upon the classification of the occupation. The above graphic details those at work or unemployed in Kildare across nine broad occupational groups and compares Kildare relative to the State average.

Of the nine occupational groups detailed above, Kildare records higher than average rates for; ‘Managers, Directors and Senior Officials’ (9%), ‘Professional Occupations’ (17.7%) and ‘Associate Professional’ and ‘Technical Occupations’ (13.1%). These three groups account for approximately 40% of the labour force in Kildare. Since 2011, the 'Caring, Leisure and Other Service Occupations' occupational group has witnessed the highest rate of increase in Kildare with an increase of 15.2% (970). The 'Professional Occupations' group has also increased significantly by a total of 14.8% (2,348) since 2011.

The graphics on the following pages provide further detail on the strengths and distributions of the nine occupational groups within and across Kildare. It is also important to note that this data relates to the occupation of workers who reside within Kildare and may in fact commute to other counties for employment opportunities. As such, this is not an analysis of the occupation of workers employed in jobs that are exclusively located within Kildare.

Kildare_CensusProfile_EmploymentOccupationIndustry_print.indd 56 01/06/2018 12:30:20 Kildare 2016 Census Profile Appendix 1: Definition of Comparative Geographies

Definition of the Eastern and Midlands Regional Assembly (EMRA) Following on from the enactment of the Local Government Reform Act 2014 a number of changes were made to the regional structures in Ireland where the eight regional authorities were dissolved. Three new Regional Assemblies came into effect on 1st January 2015, namely the Southern Regional Assembly, the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly and the Northern & Western Regional Assem- bly. EMRA performs a role of implementing strategic national and regional planning policy while ensuring strategic alignment with constituent local authorities and Strategic Planning Areas. EMRA, has twelve constituent local authorities split into three Strategic Planning Areas (See Eastern below) as follows: Dublin City, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown, Fingal, South Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wick- low, Louth, Westmeath, Laois, Longford and Offaly.

Definition of the Eastern SPA (Strategic Planning Area) The Eastern Strategic Planning Areas is one of three SPAs that sit within the EMRA regional framework. Formerly the Mid-East region, the Eastern SPA has expanded in size and is now is comprised of local authorities: Kildare, Meath, Wicklow and Louth.

Definition of Dublin Metropolitan Area: The Dublin Metropolitan Area (DMA) is aligned with the National Planning Framework Appendix 3 (32) which states that in Dublin the Metropolitan Area is as set out in the NTA Transport Strategy for the GDA 2016-2035. The DMA is also aligned with the metropolitan area as set out in Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area 2010-22, which includes all of Dublin City Council, substantial parts of South Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown and certain DEDs in Fingal, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow.

Definition of Dublin Hinterland Area: The Dublin ‘Hinterland’ area is aligned with the Draft National Planning Framework, which defines city regions or urban hinterlands as those EDs where at least 15% of the workforce (Full POWCAR) are employed in the Dublin Metropolitan Area (NTA boundary). At Home workers are classed as having a work destination as within the ED that they reside.

Definition of urban/rural classification There are numerous definitions of ‘Urban’ and ‘Rural’ used within the planning sphere in Ireland. The outputs from this report align with the definition used for the National Planning Framework. This states that all settlements (unless within the immediate or ‘metro’ catchment of a city) with a population of less than 10,000 can be defined as ‘rural’ in character and every settlement with a population greater than 10,000 is defined as ‘urban’.
