Characteristics of the lifelong learning workforce. ‌ This section moves on to consider the characteristics of the individuals working within the lifelong learning sector. The key findings, with distinctive variations between the different UK countries, are that: • the majority of the sector workforce was female, with this gender bias being most pronounced in Northern Ireland (70%), compared with England – 59%, Scotland – 58% and Wales – 53%. • over half (55%) were aged between 35-54 years. Scotland had the highest percentage, who were aged 45-54 years (35%), compared with Northern Ireland – 30%, Wales – 29% and England – 28%, whilst Wales had the highest percentage aged 25-34 (22%), compared with England – 18%, Northern Ireland – 17% and Scotland – 14%. • in terms of ethnic origin, 92% were classified as ‘white’. • just under two-thirds (65%) were known to be employed full-time. • more than three quarters (77%) were known to be employed on a permanent basis, whilst 16% were known to be on temporary contracts. (LFS, 2005) Drawing on the occupational profile data from the LFS highlights the importance of professional occupations within the sector, equating to 52% of those employed. This was considerably higher than the proportion in other groups such as: other parts of education (48%); health and social work (11%); the public sector as a whole (11%); and the economy as a whole (8%). Associate professional and technical occupations (15%) and administrative and secretarial occupations (14%) were the next most common occupational groups. The concentration of professional occupations was particularly evident within Northern Ireland, where they comprised 66% of lifelong learning employment, compared with Wales – 57%, England – 52% and Scotland – 47%. In contrast, Scotland had a higher proportion of lifelong learning employment classified within the ‘associate professional and technical’ category (18%), compared with the other UK countries (each 14%). Similarly, comparing English regional variations revealed that the proportion of employment in professional occupations was highest in London (58%) and lowest in the East Midlands (46%) and the North East (47%). Again, providing some degree of balance, the East Midlands had the highest proportion of managers and senior officials (11%) of any region, whilst the North East had a high proportion of associate professional and technical occupations (16%), the same as in the West Midlands, with only Yorkshire and Humberside being higher (17%).
