Details
The research was carried out by the Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde on behalf of the Department for International Trade (DIT).
The research is the first attempt in the UK to produce a comprehensive set of indicators to estimate the number of jobs and associated incomes supported by exporting activity in the UK.
The estimates include breakdowns by:
- effect type (direct, indirect, induced)
- sector
- export destination
- region (UK NUTS1 level)
- personal characteristics (gender, age, occupation and qualifications)
The estimates are based on combining data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) UK input-output tables with other ONS sources, including:
- workforce jobs
- the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE)
- trade in goods and trade in services by industry data
The analysis covers the years 2014 to 2016.
Estimates for all charts and tables presented in the report are available in the ‘data tables and charts’ attachment
More detailed estimates are available in the ‘detailed results’ attachment.
This was published originally by Department for International Trade (DIT) which has since moved to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).
