Local Outcomes Templates Sample Clauses

Local Outcomes Templates. In order to keep a tight local focus on how the Inverclyde Alliance will measure progress towards the delivery on the local outcomes as agreed, the measures have been developed using a local outcome template. The Alliance believes that the following tables reflect the right measures to show change in regard to the eight local outcomes on an Inverclyde wide basis, whilst indicating how this change will contribute to the achievement of the national outcomes. In Inverclyde we are nurturing our population to help us address the issue of depopulation which is one of the biggest challenges facing the area. Inverclyde has suffered one of the steepest rates of population decline across the UK and this has major implications for both the design and delivery of public services and the competitiveness and attractiveness of the local economy. Inverclyde’s population grew quickly through the late 19th century and the first part of the 20th century – peaking at 137,000 in 1951. This population growth was driven by industrialisation. The strength of the shipbuilding industry and port functions in Greenock and Port Glasgow – and the jobs they sustained – attracted people from across Scotland and beyond to live in Inverclyde. Since this post war peak, however, population decline has been steady and dramatic. In 1951 Inverclyde’s population was 137,000 but this had fallen to 90,103 by the time of the 1991 Census, a decrease of 35%. Our population is continuing to fall; at the time of the 2011 Census the population of Inverclyde was 81,500, down from 84,200 at the 2001 Census, representing a further decline of 3%. Inverclyde’s rate of depopulation is more severe than other parts of the UK and is amongst the highest in Scotland. The rate of Inverclyde’s depopulation was proportionately larger than any other local authority in the UK between 1981 and 2009. During this period Inverclyde’s population decreased by almost 21% (21,000 people). Over the period 2001- 2011 Inverclyde had the second highest drop in population of all Scottish Councils. On average during 2010/11 there was a new outflow of 311 people from Inverclyde, meaning that fewer people entered Inverclyde (1,292) than left (1,603). The 16 to 29 year olds age group accounted for the largest group of in-migrants into Inverclyde. The largest group of out-migrants was also the 16 to 29 year olds. Population forecasts suggest that the population could fall to around 66,488 by 2035, a further decrease of 17% compared to t...
