Summary of main points

This research paper summarises data for UK parliamentary constituencies from the monthlycount of unemployed claimants. It includes residence-based unemployment rates, andchanges in the number of claimants compared with one and four years earlier. From February2000, these rates are based on the estimated economically active population in eachconstituency in 1997. Please see Research Paper 00/29, Unemployment by constituency:Revised rates, for details.

The unemployment rates given here differ from those published by National Statistics (NS),which express the number of unemployed claimants as a percentage of the number of jobsplus the number of unemployed people in the constituency. As the NS rates can be biased bylarge-scale net commuting, the Library believes that its residence-based unemployment ratesprovide a better measure of local deprivation.

Also shown in the paper are comparisons between the current level of unemployment in eachconstituency with that one year and four years earlier. Data for the current constituencies are notavailable before January 1996.

The political parties shown against each seat are as they stand currently. Erratum: in lastmonth’s edition Witney was shown as a Labour seat whereas it is a Conservative seat.

I Introduction

The unemployment rates in this Research Paper use figures for the number of unemployed claimantsfrom the monthly count and estimates of the number of people who were economically active in 1997.1

The national and regional headline unemployment rates are now based on the International LabourOrganisation (ILO) definition of unemployment. Figures for constituencies are not, however, availableon this basis.

These residence-based rates should be regarded more as a social measure of relative deprivation than asan economic measure of the mismatch between the supply of and demand for labour, as they take noaccount of people’s ability to seek work outside the constituency in which they live. For a fullexposition of the methodology used to calculate these rates see Research Paper 96/63, NewUnemployment Rates for Parliamentary Constituencies.

Until June 1999, NS did not publish unemployment rates for parliamentary constituencies since most donot approximate to self-contained labour markets.2 Following local government reorganisation, NSdecided to publish unemployment rates for all unitary authorities, even though some of these do notmeet the normal self-containment criteria. From 16 June 1999, they have published officialunemployment rates for all constituencies.

The difference between the two sets of unemployment rates lies in the denominator used. The House ofCommons Library rates express the number of claimants resident in each constituency as a percentageof the estimated economically active population resident in each constituency in 1997. In contrast, theNS unemployment rates express the number of claimants resident in a constituency as a percentage ofthe 1999 workforce (the workforce is comprised of the number of jobs in the constituency, regardless ofwhether the jobholders are resident or not, plus the resident unemployed claimants).3

In May 1999, of the 659 constituencies in the United Kingdom, 148 (22%) had unemployment rateswhich varied by more than two percentage points on the two bases. For example, in the BirminghamLadywood constituency, the Library residence-based unemployment rate for May 1999 was 17.7% butthe official workforce rate was just 3.7%. The main factor that will affect the difference between thetwo denominators is the extent of commuting into and out of the constituency: this will determinewhether the workforce is significantly different in size from the resident economically active population.In addition, differences may arise due to differences in the definition of economic activity used (eg theNS workforce measure counts people with two jobs twice) and in the year to which the figures relate.

1 Details are given in Unemployment by constituency: Revised rates, Research Paper 00/29.2 Self contained labour markets are areas where the 70 per cent of the people who live in the area also work there, and

70 per cent of those who work in the area also live there.3 Under the definitions used for calculating the workforce, a person who has two part-time jobs counts twice.

The following table explains how differences in the denominators used will affect the calculation of thetwo unemployment rates.

Factor affecting denominator Effect on unemployment rate

constituency has significant level of net inward commuting(i.e. more people commute into the constituency thancommute out)

NS unemployment rate will be lower than residence-basedunemployment rate

constituency has significant level of net outward commuting(i.e. more people commute out of the constituency thancommute in)

NS unemployment rate will be higher than residence-basedunemployment rate

The two sets of unemployment rates have different interpretations. If one is mainly interested inmeasures of relative local economic deprivation, then the Library’s residence-based measure is moreappropriate. If, however, one is more interested in the state of the local labour market then the NSmeasure is better.

Notes to tables:

1. The Boundary Commission reviews in 1995 defined 659 constituencies in the United Kingdom.These were defined in terms of electoral wards as they stood at the time of the review. For thepurposes of the unemployment statistics however, constituencies represent a best-fit of frozen1991 wards to the new constituencies.

Boundary alterations between 1991 and 1995 mean that there are inevitably approximations to1995 boundaries in many constituencies. In some cases, however, the changes to wardboundaries were substantial and some wards are now split between constituencies. Theseconstituencies are indicated with an asterisk (*) in the following tables.

Four wards with populations below the 1991 Census confidentiality threshold have had theirdata ‘exported’ to a ward which is in another constituency. In these cases, the data for the‘exported’ ward are included in the constituency to which the ward has been transferred.Constituencies losing data in this way are indicated by ‘>’, whereas those gaining data as aresult are indicated by ‘<’.4

2. The following abbreviations for parties have been used:

LAB Labour UU Ulster Unionist PartyCON Conservative DU Democratic Unionist PartyLD Liberal Democrat SDLP Social Democratic and Labour PartyPC Plaid Cymru SF Sinn FeinSNP Scottish National Party IND IndependentSPKR Speaker

4 Data are transferred from Bath to Wansdyke (one ward), Hereford to Leominster (one ward) and Clywd South toClwyd West (two wards).
