Economic Profile

In 2016, 59% of the predominantly rural population was of working age, 16 to 64 (65% for predominantly

urban).

In 2039, it is expected that only 52% of the population of predominantly rural areas will be of working

age (61% for predominantly urban).

Clearly for predominantly rural areas the availability of people who are within the working age group (

aged 16 to 64) is both a current issue, and one that will become more significant in the future with the

proportion of total population within this age bracket diminishing each year. Naturally the age bracket

that is considered to be of working age is likely to be extended in the future as people work into older

age, yet it is important to understand the age demographic from which employers will be recruiting.

Accommodation & Food Services each with 16.2% of part-time employees employed.

It is interesting to compare the proportion of employees employed in each industry sector to the

proportion of enterprises in each category.

As well as part time employment being more prevalent in some industries as already highlighted, part

time employment is also more common in predominantly rural local authority areas than urban areas. In

2016, 34% of employees were in part time employment for predominantly rural areas, in comparison to

31% for predominantly urban areas.

More public sector employment occurs in predominantly urban areas, and again we see more part time

employment of public sector workers in the predominantly rural areas (44% of public sector workers in

predominantly rural areas were working part time in 2016, compared with 36% for predominantly urban).

Stroud

The jobs density in predominantly urban areas is consistently 1.6 times that of predominantly rural. The

implication of this on those looking for work in rural areas is compounded by the fact that the proportion

of population aged 16-64 on which the density is calculated, in rural areas in smaller than in urban areas.

The jobs market is therefore that much tougher for those living in rural local authority areas.

Economic inactivity

A person who is neither in employment nor unemployed is classed as economically inactive. This group

includes, for example, all those who were looking after a home or retired. People not in employment

who want a job but are not classed as unemployed because they have either not sought work in the last

four weeks or are not available to start work are classed as 'economically inactive - wanting a job'.

% of economically inactive who do not want a job

Stroud

Rural average

Urban average


Claimant count: The number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus those who claim Universal

Credit who are out of work.

The predominantly urban proportion of claimants is greater than the rural average. It is important to

place this in the context of the rural person who has additional challenges compared to their urban

counterpart of accessing the benefits system (ie. travel time and cost of travel is greater the further away

from the benefits office the claimant lives). The rural person might in such circumstance choose to take

part time work in preference (as the part time working statistics provided above indicate) or rely on

savings or the assistance of friends and relatives.
