  1. Profile of Eastern European Residentsin Yorkshire and the Humber Lisa Littlefair Research Manager

  2. The Data and Methodology • Main source – Research Opinion Poll from Acxiom Ltd • Data is collected both by post and online across different age groups • Ensures a representative demographic profile of responders • In Yorkshire and the Humber there were 780 responses received (and 8,220 across England)from Eastern Europeans during the January 2010 survey, with approx 50,000 across total Y&H population • These results are weighted and modeled against know population data to ensure robust results • Ethnicity self-selected from this question:

  3. Methodology Continued... • The majority of this data is presented in index form (comparison to England average) allowing strong comparisons and a high level of confidence in the results • Data was profiled by Ethnic group and compared to Yorkshire and the Humber, and England averages • Additional analysis • Comparisons to the collated BAME group, which excludes the “White” groups on previous slide, for comparison • Combined English regions excluding London and the South East to check any cross-England skew by this area • Where a low base may exist (and therefore caution required) this is noted within the report

  4. BME groups across Y&H NB Question not asked in 2008

  5. Employment StatusAnalysis 1 – Eastern Europeans in Y&H v Y&H Average Key message: Eastern European households in Y&H are more likely than average to contain students, but are also more likely to contain unemployed individuals and self-employed individuals

  6. Employment StatusAnalysis 2 – Eastern Europeans in England v England Average Key message: Eastern European households across England are much more likely than average to be self-employed (178 where 100 = England average) and more likely across Y&H (130), however the BAME group is more likely to be self-employed in Y&H (137) than across England (116)

  7. Employment StatusAnalysis 3 – Eastern Europeans in Y&H v Eastern Europeans in England Key message: Eastern European households in Y&H are less likely than those across England to be in full time employment, but not as unlikely as BAME households

  8. Qualifications Key message: Eastern Europeans are more likely to be highly qualified and less likely to hold lower level qualifications

  9. Key message: Eastern Europeans are more likely to feel they are able to influence local decisions, and more so in Yorkshire and the Humber than on average across England

  10. Key message: In Yorkshire and the Humber Eastern Europeans index more than twice as high as this group’s average across England for a household income of up to £5k, however this can also be seen within the BAME group, and when comparing Yorkshire and the Humber overall average to England average

  11. Key message: From the list given, the item most concerning all households is paying bills, however BAME households are most concerned about their mortgage, which is echoed in Eastern European households but not as strongly. Eastern Europeans are less worried about loss of income than average.

  12. Key message: The hobby where Eastern Europeans over index highest against the average in Y&H is skiing and boarding, whereas they are less interested in current affairs and religious activities. This is quite different to the BAME population where religious activities, and community regeneration are much more popular

  13. Summary – how does the Eastern European Population compare to the average in Yorkshire and the Humber? • Younger • More likely to be in full time education or students, unlikely to be retired • Highly qualified • Twice as likely as those across England to have a household income of up to £5k • Manual/factory jobs • Single or living with their partner • Would consider taking up training • Entrepreneurial (in terms of numbers self-employed) but less than the BAME group • Rent privately, often living in flats • Dislike their neighbourhood more than average however they are more likely to think their neighbourhood has improved • Less likely to be taking action on environmental issues
