SEP refresh Key issues - productivity Out of 38 LEPs D2N2 4th largest population and 5th largest workforce outside London. However 9th largest economy – raising business productivity is the challenge D2N2 has earnings deficit . Too many people in lower paid jobs (some 30% of people earn less than the Living Wage) and not enough in higher paid jobs Little growth in working-age population by 2030 . D2N2 working age population will rise by 1% between now and 2039 To be internationally-competitive economy, maintain high levels of employment need to find ways to produce much more output with the existing workforce Need to enable our workers at all levels to move up the skills escalator into more productive, better- paid jobs and future proof the skills they need for the jobs of tomorrow.
SEP refresh Key issues – inclusion Future success depends on how effective we are at managing the transition to a higher-value economy. Engaging businesses and communities will be critical , by providing opportunities and raising skills levels and recognising that local economies are starting from different positions Some parts of D2N2 particularly disadvantaged - workplace earnings range from 118% of the England average in Derby, to 65% in Mansfield Marked gap between the most prosperous parts of the D2N2 area and those facing the biggest economic challenges (ranging from GVA per head of £27.6k in Nottingham, £27.3k in Derbyshire Dales to £14.4k in Gedling and £16k in Erewash)
