Local variationsBAME employment rates vary much

more than white employment ratesThe employment rate gap for regions

varies from 7 percentage points in the East to 19 points in Yorkshire and the Humber

IndicatorsRegional and local employment rate

gaps can be measuredBut estimates are not robustSo changes may be ‘just survey’

rather than actual

The Work Programme150,000 BAME people had been

referred to the Work Programme up to July 2012

17% of all referralsJob outcome performance worse than

average – but very small difference

ConclusionsHow to increase employment:–Women’s employment rate– Black Caribbean men– Regions and local areas – Y&H, Mids and NW– Under-represented jobs sectors

Making education pay and progressionImproving Work ProgrammeUsing indicators to drive local and national
