## Grow The Economy Briefing Note

 
Key messages March 2018 The Calderdale economy has shown resilience and consistent growth in the last five years. Since 2012 overall borough performance across a range of economic metrics has improved in line with national trends. These metrics show the economy is achieving strong results when compared with its 'Best Borough in the North'1 local authority neighbours and the Leeds City region2. For example: 
 
 
Jobs - employment rates Calderdale's employment rate has been higher than the average for Leeds City Region and England for five years in a row. In September 2017 it was 76.3%. This is the fourth highest rate within both the Best Borough in the North comparator group and third highest in the Leeds City Region. See table 1 and figure 1 in Appendix A for more information. 

 
Jobs - number of jobs The number of jobs in Calderdale increased from 97,000 in 2012 to 111,000 in 2016. The number of jobs per resident of working age has remained consistently higher than the average for the Leeds City region and Best Borough in the North comparator groups in the last five years. In 2016 there were 0.85 employee jobs per working age resident, a slight reduction on 0.86 for 2015. It was the fourth highest in the Leeds City Region and second highest in the Best Borough in the North comparator group. See table 2 and figure 2 in Appendix A for more information. 

 
Jobs - private sector Calderdale's private sector has expanded in the last five years. There were 8,985 private sector work places in the borough in 2017 compared with 7,635 in 2012 - an 18% increase. In 2016 there were 42.1 private sector work places per 1,000 residents, the fourth highest rate in the Leeds City Region and third highest within the Best Borough North comparator group. See table 3 and figure 3 in Appendix A for more information.

Inclusive Growth - what is it? The OECD defines Inclusive as "economic growth that creates opportunity for all segments of the population and distributes the dividends of increased prosperity, both in monetary and non-monetary terms, fairly across society." Nationally, there's been much discussion about "JAMS" (just about managing), "Left Behind Britain", the Gig economy etc, and in the past year the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) have published the report of their Inclusive Growth Commission, and Matthew Taylor has undertaken a review on modern employment practices. However, there is still a national productivity gap, with the North lagging behind London and the South-East. Even within our own region, the inequality gap between richest and poorest continues to widen. In West Yorkshire, the Combined Authority set up an Inclusive Growth Group, supported by a Core Team of officers from across the region, and in Calderdale we are developing our own Inclusive Economic Strategy. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation have identified a list of 18 Inclusive Growth Monitor Indicators which they feel will provide a good benchmark of how an area is performing. The attached data pack looks at each of those datasets in turn and compares Calderdale with "Best Borough in the North" authorities and the Leeds City Region average.
