Causeway Coast & Glens:
Economic OutlookSlide29
A growing population
Total population is forecast to reach around 147,000 by 2027
Total Population is forecast to increase from 144,000 (2017) to 147,000 (2027) – a 2.2% growth
This increase is likely to have impact on variety of policies such as;
Housing demandDemand for services (esp health)Impact on rates The UUEPC assume that employment creation impacts upon both population & working population through migration trends (i.e. employment loss can cause out-migration of WPOP due to a lack of opportunities)Total resident population, Causeway Coast & Glens, 2001-27Source: NISRA & UUEPC Autumn 2018 Local ModelSlide30
CC&G to have a steadily falling working age population
Is the ageing population having an impact?
Working age population is forecast to fall from 90,000 (2017) to 87,000 (2027) – a 2.9% decrease
Due to higher proportions of older age bands in the Council area?
Resident working age population, Causeway Coast & Glens, 2001-27Source: NISRA & UUEPC Autumn 2018 Local ModelSlide31
Dependency ratio on the up?
Due to a more aging population
The dependency ratio is forecast to increase from 38% (2017) to 41% (2027)
Likely to have significant policy implications, such as;
Pressures on healthcare / local servicesShrinking labour force participationImpact on domestic ratesSkills matching issues i.e. not matching employer needsResident dependency ratio (%), Causeway Coast & Glens, 2001-27Source: NISRA & UUEPC Autumn 2018 Local ModelSlide32

Forecasts and their construction
UUEPC Suite of Economic Forecast ModelsSlide52
Use of Forecasts
Forecasts are useful to help councils guide any future potential policy direction / decisions, in areas such as;
Planning;
Economic development; and
Public facilities management.But forecasts are conditional on a range of underlying factors, in particular;Historical / Past trends;The policy environment; andThe current economic environment (Locally, Nationally & Globally).These underlying factors are major determinants of future performance as they reflect the relative competitiveness of an area / sector in the present and into the futureThe UUEPC’s local forecasts presented in this slide deck are calculated using a top-down approach – i.e. UK forecasts allocated to the UK Regions (i.e. NI) & these NI forecasts are then allocated to each of the 11 council areasThe forecasts presented do not consider local initiatives or strategies that have yet to be approved (i.e. current policy framework remains unchanged)Slide53
The UUEPC have developed 3 scenarios for NI and each of the 11 councils given the current uncertainty in the economic environment (i.e. Brexit, etc.)
These scenarios thus provide a range of potentially varying economic impacts the changing economic environment might have on the NI & council economies
The Scenarios
Baseline –
The baseline scenario provides an illustration of the UUEPC’s most likely outcome, and is based on the UK & EU reaching a mutually beneficial trading arrangement Upper – The upper scenario provides an illustration of the NI’s employment rate moving from the current rate of 69% to the ambitious target of 73% by 2027Lower – The lower scenario provides an illustration of a more significant negative impact from ‘Brexit’ through severely impacted trade as well as reduction in consumer spending as a result of a fall in consumer confidenceIt should be noted, however that both the upper & lower scenarios are considered to be low probability eventsScenariosUpper, Central and Lower ScenariosSlide54
The UUEPC Local Government Forecast Model is a demand led model.
I
n which the main driver are its employment forecasts.
M
eaning the employment forecasts provide the basis for all subsequent forecasts produced by the Local Government Model.These employment forecasts whether they be, gains or losses, influence;Level of GVA produced – wages and profits generated (due to losses or gains in employee wages & firm revenues)Level of population / working age population – through in / out-migration (based on the assumption that job creation or loss are the main drivers for in / out-migration into / out of a council area)Level of unemployment, inactivity & resident employment– through the assumption job gains or losses will have a positive (reducing both & increasing employment) or negative (increasing both & decreasing employment) effect However, due to the commuting matrix the full impact of employment changes, upon each assumption, are not entirely felt by the council As the model accounts for commuting in and out of each council. Meaning, the full extent of employment changes are not only impacting residents within the involving council, but are in fact distributed throughout all 11 councils. Local Model Development
AssumptionsSlide55
GlossarySlide56
Workplace based Employment
-The number of people employed by location of work
Resident based Employment
-The number of people employed by location of residency
Real GVA The measure of the value of goods and services produced in an area, industry or sector of an economy. Real value is the nominal value adjusted for inflation and is obtained by removing the effect if price level changes from the nominal value of time-series dataProductivity Measures how efficiently production inputs are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output. Productivity within the UUEPC Model is derived from total GVA divided by the number of people employed Economic Inactivity Rate (%) The rate of those within the working age population who are not in employment, nor actively seeking employment from one year to the next. Glossary of Key TermsSlide57
CAGR (%)
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the mean annual growth rate of an over a specified period of time longer than one year.
Labour Force
Those people who are at the working age (16-64), and are able and willing to work.
Working Age Population Those aged between 16 and 64ILO Unemployment Rate (%) - The rate of those who are: out of work, want a job, have actively sought work in the previous four weeks and are available to start work within the next fortnight changes from one year to the nextGlossary of Key TermsSlide58
