Personal Income: Wakefield

Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the average wage for (a) full-time and (b) part-time (i) male and (ii) female employees is; and what the average household income of working age households was in the Wakefield local authority area in (A) cash and (B) real terms in (1) 1997 and (2) 2008. (288664)
Average levels of earnings are estimated from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), and are provided for all employees on adult rates of pay whose pay for the survey period was not affected by absence. I attach a table showing the median gross weekly earnings for full-time, male full-time, female full-time, part-time, male part-time and female part-time employees for the Wakefield local authority area in years 1997 and 2008.
Information regarding the average household income of working age households is not available for the Wakefield local authority area.

Guide to quality The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of a figure, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV-for example, for an average of 200 with a CV of 5% we would expect the population average to be within the range 180 to 220. Key CV <= 5% * CV >5% and <=10% ** CV > 10% and <=20% x CV >20% Source: Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), Office for National Statistics. 1997and 2008 | ||
Population Statistics
Mr. Clappison: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what the most recent projections made by the Office for National Statistics are of population densities in (a) the UK, (b) England, (c) Scotland, (d) Wales and (e) Northern Ireland for (i) the earliest date for which such projections have been made (ii) 2031, (iii) 2056 and (iv) the most distant date for which such projections have been made; what estimate has been made of the population density of each such area in 2009; and what information the Office for National Statistics holds on the population density of other EU member states for the purposes of comparison with its projections for the UK. [288409]
Angela E. Smith: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question asking what most recent projections made by the Office for National Statistics are of population densities in (a) the UK, (b) England, (c) Scotland, (d) Wales and (e) Northern Ireland for (i) the earliest date for which such projections have been made
(ii) 2031, (iii) 2056 and (iv) the latest date for which such projections have been made; what estimate has been made of the population density of each such area in 2009; what information the Office for National Statistics holds on the population density of other EU Member States for the purposes of comparison with its projections for the UK. (288409)
Projected population densities can be calculated for any year from the published projected total population for that year and the relevant land area. The estimated population density for mid-2006 and projected population densities derived from the 2006 population base are given in the table below for the years 2009, 2031, 2056, 2081 and 2106.
The next set of national population projections, based on the mid-2008 population estimates, are due for publication by the Office for National Statistics on 21 October 2009.
| Projected population density of UK and constituent countries for selected years 2006 to 2106 | ||||||
| Persons/sq km | ||||||
| 2006 | 2009 | 2031 | 2056 | 2081 | 2106 | |
| Note: Population densities for 2006 are derived from mid-year population estimates, whilst those for 2009 onwards are derived from the 2006-based population projections. All densities have been calculated assuming constant land area for the UK and its constituent countries into the future.

National population projections are produced for up to 100 years ahead, but only published for up to 75 years ahead, and are available from the National Statistics website at:
However, long-term projections should be treated with great caution. Population projections become increasingly uncertain the further they are carried forward, particularly for smaller geographic areas.
Eurostat publishes estimates of population densities for all EU countries up to 2007-see table tps0003 under main demographic indicators at:
