Year and age of arrival [lower than the Yorkshire and Humber average of 1.6%] although India is at a similar level [Charts 2.3a and b]. • Just over 8000 people resident in Leeds arrived during 2010 and 2011; this equates to 9% of the non-UK born population Ethnicity [Charts C1.1a and b] • • Most non-UK born residents in Leeds arrived as children or ‘Asian’ continues to be the predominant minority ethnic group up to the age of 45. 20-24 years was the most common age – as it was in 2001 [Chart 3.1a] range in Leeds and like the regional average was selected by • The biggest growth in minority ethnic groups since the 2001 21% of current non-UK born residents as their age on arrival census depends on whether you look at absolute numbers or [Charts 1.2a and b]. the proportion of the population: • Almost 37 600 residents arrived over ten years ago, or 44% o ‘White other’ [i.e. not White British] rose by the greatest of non-UK born Leeds residents – just below the regional number [19 100 individuals: from 10 632 in 2001 to 29 773 average of 46% [Charts 1.3a and b] in 2011, or more than doubled from 1.5% of the population to 4%] Country of birth o ‘Chinese & other’ saw the biggest proportional increase [nearly a four-fold increase from 0.8% to 3.1%, but this • There are over three times as many residents in Leeds who represents a smaller number of people i.e. 17 400 more were born in a third country [outside the EU] than were born individuals, from 5975 to 23 419 people]. in the EU [77 200 compared to 20 300 respectively]; this o See Charts C3.1a and b for more information. difference is common across the Yorkshire and Humber region, but a little more pronounced in Leeds [Charts 2.1a Identity and language and b]. • 7% of the population does not consider themselves to have a • Asia is dominant among ten world regions of birth, followed UK-based identity, just above the average for the Yorkshire by the EU [Charts 2.2a and b].

British citizenship. In 5% of households nobody has English as a main language [Charts 3.4a and b]. • Pakistan is the most common country of birth for non-UK born residents and accounts for 1.2% of the whole population Migration Yorkshire - Leeds 2011 Census Profile 3 About this document What does the data in this document cover? This document presents elements of the 2011 census related to migration. The census did not ask people if they were a ‘migrant’; there’s no easy way to define or count the number of migrants as there are different views about who classes as a migrant. A common definition is that a migrant is someone who comes to the UK for more than a year. The census asked questions about things we might consider to describe certain migrant groups e.g. people who were not born in the UK or who do not have a UK passport. It also asked about things that reflect diversity and the long-term impact of migration on the population e.g. minority ethnic identity, or English as a main language. The information from these questions is presented in this document. The data collected concerned everyone present on census day, but short-term residents are excluded from published data. Therefore information here covers ‘usual residents’.1 How recent is the data? The Census describes a snapshot of the resident population on 27 March 2011. This document will not be updated as the Census only takes place every ten years. What are the limitations of census data? Like any data source, the census has limitations. They include: • The data provides a snapshot for 27 March 2011, so will not show any changes that have taken place since [such as new arrivals, leavers or people who have died] • It presents data about people who were not born in the UK but now live here; not all of these might be considered to be ‘migrants’ • Not every individual will have participated in the census, despite efforts • The data cannot be corrected to account for changed intentions e.g. ‘usual residents’ who believed they would stay more than a year may have since changed their plans and would now be classed as short term residents. 1 Usual residents are defined as. anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK for less than 12 months. Migration Yorkshire - Leeds 2011 Census Profile 4 Should I use the Census Profile or the Local Migration Profile? The census is great as a fairly comprehensive count of the resident ‘migrant’ population. However, it is a snapshot of what happened on a particular date, and is not updated for at least ten years, so does not capture subsequent change. For more recent data on migration in your area, read your Local Migration Profile [LMP]. The LMP collates different data that is more recent but counts / estimates new arrivals rather than the entire resident migrant population. See: www.migrationyorkshire.org.uk/statistics How is the data presented in this Census Profile? Each section provides charts and maps, followed by a narrative explanation to help with interpretation. The charts provide more comprehensive data, while each map gives an example of the geographical distribution of people featured in just one bar from a chart. The charts are shown in pairs; one gives the actual numbers in Leeds, and the next gives the information as a proportion [of all non-UK born residents or all residents] in Leeds to make it comparable with other areas in the region. What’s missing? This Census Profile is a selection of the data we think will be of most use to public services who need to know more about their migrant population. It is not exhaustive, does not show every possible variation and may not contain data most recently published. In particular: • This document shows overall data values for individual wards in Leeds. However, this masks any variation within that ward. • This document does not cross-reference different variables. For example, we do not provide data about residents who were born outside the EU and arrived during 2010-2011; we can only provide separate data firstly on all residents who were born outside the EU and secondly on all residents who arrived during 2010-2011. Can I share this information? All data in this document can be shared publicly. The original, raw data is publicly available from the Office for National Statistics [ONS]. It has been collated, interpreted and presented here by Migration Yorkshire. Please acknowledge any information you use. For example: • If you copy a statistic, chart or map from this document, we suggest you add: ‘Source: ONS, 2011 Census. Data/map/chart provided by Migration Yorkshire’ • If you quote the narrative description from this document, give the citation: ‘Migration Yorkshire [2014] Leeds 2011 Census Profile.

  • Leeds City Region Labour Market Report 2018
    Labour Market Report 2018 Labour Market Report 2018 1 Labour Market Report 2018 Introduction: skills and the wider economic challenge This document aims to provide an understanding of the skills that are needed to support economic growth and enhanced productivity and living standards in Leeds City Region, both now and in the future. Skills play a central part in addressing the major economic challenges that face the region, around low productivity, lagging living standards and entrenched deprivation at neighbourhood level. Through our Employment and Skills Plan, we are committed to addressing these challenges in the following ways: • Increasing the supply of economically-valuable higher level skills in order to drive innovation and productivity growth • Ensuring that more and better apprenticeships are available to enable employers to grow their own skills to meet the specific needs of their business, particularly in shortage areas • Providing individuals with the skills they need to get into employment and to fulfil their career potential, as well as to adapt to the changing needs of the labour market • Supporting engagement between employers and the education system so that young people understand the opportunities available in the local labour market and are well-prepared to make the most of those opportunities • Encouraging employers to invest in workforce development as a basis for improved business performance. In each case, an understanding of local skills needs and labour market prospects is crucial to taking our agenda forward. It informs our development of policy and strategy and more importantly it can be used to help individuals to make better careers decisions, to shape the curriculum offer of education and training providers and to provide wider context to employers’ thinking about the development of their own talent base.

  • THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON with WOODLESFORD and METHLEY with MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE
    Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE ROTHWELL, LOFTHOUSE, OULTON WITH WOODLESFORD and METHLEY WITH MICKLETOWN TEAM BROCHURE January 2018 1 Holy Trinity Church, Church Street, Rothwell, LS26 0QL Parish Profile THE OPPORTUNITY We are looking and praying for a Team Rector who will lead us, and bring new energy to support us in collaborating our Mission & Ministry across our four parishes. THE TEAM, ITS PARISHES AND THE AREA TEAM LOCATION All four parishes cluster around the M1/M62 intersection in easy reach of both Leeds and Wakefield. Many of our people have coal mining in their blood and the Benefice encompasses the world-famous Rhubarb Triangle. DIVERSITY ACROSS THE TEAM For all our geographical closeness, each community has a distinct character. Rothwell was a large mining village which has grown into a significant suburban centre and feels like a small town. Lofthouse is a ribbon development of mining and agricultural communities along a main road where in recent decades many housing estates have grown up. Oulton with Woodlesford combines historic housing of the wealthy with some challenging estates and has a good selection of shops and other facilities. Methley is a large village set amidst the estate of its aristocratic lords of the manor which is joined with the mining centre of Mickletown where most people live. TEAM HISTORY Two parishes are in the Domesday Book, but all owe their population growth to coal mining and associated industries. They all now attract commuters into the cities and so all communities within the Team continue to grow.

  • Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund
    Transforming lives through transport Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund Strategic Outline Business Case November 2019 TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP Secretary of State for Transport House of Commons London SW1A 0AA 28 November 2019 Dear Secretary of State Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund – Bid Submission We are pleased to submit to the Department for Transport, the Leeds City Region’s submission to the Transforming Cities Fund. Reliable, affordable, sustainable transport is essential to enable people to access skills and job opportunities, particularly those who face disadvantage, to tackle the climate emergency and to raise our region’s productivity. We are shaping our skills, inclusive growth, business support and wider infrastructure programmes to contribute to these objectives. This holistic approach will ensure we have a more significant and meaningful impact on people’s lives, on the ability of our businesses and the economy to grow, and on the environment. Our Transforming Cities Fund package is part of this overall approach. Our submission will deliver a City Region where communities are better able to access a transport network that is more accessible, affordable and attractive. It will also provide people with a more realistic alternative to the car and the choice to make more journeys that are sustainable, healthier, and that ultimately enable our towns and city centres to be re-shaped with people at their heart. A 21st century transport network is key to creating economic growth around the region, building resilience into communities and helping people to access employment and education opportunities. Through this submission we will address the challenges currently experienced by our most disadvantaged communities, including being cut off from opportunity for employment and not having access to sustainable travel, both for local journeys as well as across the region.
