Exploring Socio-economic trends,
the work of Teesside University
Socio-economic research in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities & Law
and Teesside University International Business School
Professor Natasha Vall, Acting Dean (SSHL)

37.
Socio-economic research @ School of Social Sciences Humanities
& Law
Research is organised across three Research Centres:
Centre for Social Innovation- explores the complex interplay between social
cohesion, public policy and societal change
Centre for Applied Psychological Science-bridges the gap between theoretical
research and applied practice by providing evidence-based solutions to societal
challenges
Centre for Culture and Creativity-addressing historical and creative questions,
utilising methodologies including archival, practice-based, critical and theoretical

38.
We see national statistical data becoming increasingly important in our research across all
our centres, in areas such as criminal justice, public health and socio-economic
development
• The school has a large set researchers from several disciplines whose research employs
quantitative/experimental approaches and who have a strong foundation in descriptive and inferential statistics
• The data are particularly valuable for examining community composition as well as geographic variations
in socio-economic outcomes, which link to the work in the Centre for Social Innovation
• We have a number of researchers in the school who also examine the social and ethical implications of
data-driven policy, including algorithmic governance (e.g. Prof. Marty Chamberlain)
• We have researchers who are interested in responsible use of data as part of the broader discussion
around responsible research practices (e.g. Prof. Matt Cotton)
“

39.
Socio-economic and Public Health data
• Our school has several strands of work focused on Public Health (e.g. Prof. Newbury Birch @TEAMALPHA,
Centre for Social Innovation) for which the analysis of regional and national data is integral
• Prof. van Schaik in the Centre for Applied Psychological Science on blood-borne viruses is incorporating
regional health data from NHS digital
• Research in the Centre for Culture and Creativity (e.g. Prof. Karikis, Prof. McKeown) involves the wellbeing
of minority groups or seeks to incorporate communities at the economic and socio-geographic fringes
• The incorporation of large datasets would broaden the scope of all these research questions

40.
Socio-economic research and town centres
Teesside University and University College London are collaborating on research regarding the future of town
centres, and (in particular) town centres in Tees Valley and wider North East
• This work has highlighted a central tension in recent policy (Levelling Up) - the balance between economic development
and pride in place (Dr Nick Gray, Prof John Tomaney, Prof Natasha Vall)
• Findings have informed a recent bid (https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/developing-local-policy-innovation-partnerships/) led
by Teesside University, in collaboration with UCL, Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland and Northumbria Universities
• This will explore related questions including:
• What is the balance between pride in place and economic growth?
• What might be the local practical application of ideas around the foundational economy and community wealth building?

WHAT ARE GREEN JOBS & WHY ARE THEY
IMPORTANT?: A TEES VALLEY APPROACH
-----
21/11/2022
-----

65.
• Range of definitions for “Green Jobs” at a national and
international level:
• UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting
• International Labour Organisation
• Greater London Authority (GLA)
• Multiple definitions are cited to suit different uses and
consequently make this a complex area.
• As the UK moves towards Net Zero, the “Green” economy
will expand, therefore a coherent approach that enables
robust analysis that can support policy-making is required.
What are Green Jobs?

66.
• Three ways of framing a green jobs definition can be
considered:
• An occupation-based approach, including all jobs that are green
• An industry-based approach, including all jobs in a green industry
• A firm-based approach, including all jobs in a green firm
• TVCA supports the use of an occupation-based approach.
• Green jobs can be in any industrial sector and conversely
industry sectors include jobs that may or may not be green.
• Clear benefits to adopting an occupation-based approach,
including the linkage to other relevant datasets to
understand skills and workforce requirements
Tees Valley CA Approach

67.
• Identify occupations that are likely to be affected by
greening as opposed to jobs that are inherently green.
• Approach mirrors the GLA Economic Working Paper 99 –
Identifying Green Occupations in London.
• GLA Economics approach converts the US O*NET
occupations classified as affected by ‘greening’ into a UK
SOC code nearest equivalent using programming algorithms.
• Following a manual review of the UK SOC green occupation
list by GLA Economics, only one SOC code was required to
be added.
• Occupation-based approach enables economic modelling to
be produced to analysis skills and workforce requirements.
Tees Valley CA Approach

68.
• All UK SOC code occupations were classified into four
distinct groups:
• Green increased demand – existing jobs that are expected to be in
high demand due to ‘greening’, without requiring significant
changes in tasks, skills or knowledge.
• Green enhanced skills – existing jobs that require significant
changes in tasks, skills and knowledge as a result of ‘greening’.
• Green new and emerging – new jobs with unique worker
requirements that meet the specific needs of the green economy.
• Non-green
• c.100 occupation codes (4 digit SOC) are covered within the
Tees Valley produced list, however this is subject to a
manual review to closer reflect the Tees Valley economy.
Tees Valley CA Approach

69.
• Tees Valley has the ambition to becomes the world’s first
Net Zero industrial cluster by 2040 and be the leading region
for the UK’s net zero ambitions.
• Currently 67,750 green jobs in Tees Valley, which represents
c.25% of all jobs within the region.
• 23,600 green enhanced skills jobs (8.8% of jobs compared to 9.3%
nationally).
• 29,920 green increased demand jobs (11.2% of jobs compared to
10.5% nationally).
• 14,220 green new and emerging jobs (5.3% compared to 6%
nationally).
Tees Valley Green Economy

70.
• The number of green jobs in Tees Valley are projected to
grow by 3.3% between 2021 and 2030, this matches the
projected change nationally.
• Green enhanced skills jobs are projected to increase by 2.9%
between 2021 and 2030 (3.4% nationally) .
• Green Increased demand jobs are projected to increase by 3.1%
between 2021 and 2030 (3.3% nationally).
• Green new and emerging jobs are projected to increase by 4.3%
between 2021 and 2030 (3.3% nationally).
• Nationally, 17% of people employed in green jobs are aged
55 and over and 76% are male.
• Between February 2021 and January 2022, there were
14,380 vacancies available online for green jobs.
Tees Valley Green Economy

71.
• Understanding Green Jobs and how they change over time
is essential for measuring our local economies throughout
the transition to Net Zero
• Analysis can guide policy decisions that will be critical to
identify the green jobs, along with the related skills demand
and supply going forward.
• Ensure all stakeholders work coherently to grasp the
opportunities of a green industrial revolution and meet the
challenges of supporting high carbon sectors, their workers
and the communities they support through the transition to

Why is Green Jobs Analysis Important?

• ONS has stated that they “seek to refine our understanding
and measurement of the green economy as the UK
transitions to net zero, including looking at such issues as
quality of work and diversity within the green economy”.
• ONS are continuing there Green Jobs project, which aims to
provide:
• A clear definition of green jobs
• Experimental statistics measuring green jobs, using these
definitions
• Initial analytical outputs
• Collaboration across stakeholders can ensure future work on
“Green Jobs” can meet the needs for all.

Public consultation
Review of the Measures of National Well-being – Closes 25 November 2022
We are reviewing the measures of national well-being.
In August, we restarted regular updates of the Measures of National Well-being dashboard,
which measures the quality of life in the UK. This publication marked over 10 years since its
creation and developments to date, including it being published alongside GDP and climate
change insights for the first time. This milestone gives us an opportunity to reflect on the original
34,000 responses which fed into the development of the national well-being dashboard, and the
changes to society since the dashboard’s inception.
As part of the review, we are launching a consultation to review the measures included in the
dashboard and how we communicate these insights.
Please give us your views and take part in the survey.
