LMI for All includes the highest qualification held (9 RQF categories) related to employment, replacement demand, unemployment rates, as well pay and earnings. However, for the reasons indicated, more detailed breakdowns by course would be difficult to map to occupation by SOC2010. Census of Population data The Census of Population provides very geographically detailed information on the location of employment and the characteristics of workers in 2011. The LMI4All database includes a number of variables from the Census, which can be used as the basis of indicators, which detail the spatial pattern of labour demand and the geographical distribution of workers. Future developments that might enhance the database could be focused more on a local economic development perspective rather than the careers support angle. From a local economic development perspective, the main value of the Census data is to provide a detailed geographical breakdown of the availability of workers of different skill levels. The sort of variables which could be derived include: Number of workers at a given skill level (defined in terms of SOC major groups) within certain distance bands of a location of interest; The percentage of workers at various skill levels within a locality being considered for industrial development; Identification of areas in which employment of particular occupations is concentrated. Further details of what is available can be found in Annex C. European data the Cedefop database, EU Skills Panorama, ESCO and – EURES Cedefop projections, Skills Panorama and related data Over the past 10 years, IER, in collaboration with others, have developed an historical employment database and projections at a pan European level on behalf of Cedefop. This replicates many of the same features of the Working Futures employment database. In principle, the data can be used to generate employment information, including replacement demands, for each of the 27 EU Member States plus a few additional countries such as Norway and Switzerland. In practice, there are a few issues: The data were initially classified using ISCO 88, which is not directly comparable with SOC2010 however, a broad brush mapping can be derived (see below). – The new data published in 2014/15 used ISCO08. This is broadly compatible with SOC2010. IER and ONS have been working on developing mappings. The current Cedefop projections are primarily focused on the 2-digit level. Development of information at a more detailed level is being explored, but data
