The tables below contain performance monitoring data from the GCPP Performance Management Framework. Each table contains the Performance Indicators which relate to a specific Community Plan Priority Area, with some indicators appearing in more than one table. Next to each indicator you can see the baseline (Sep 2017) figure, and a comparison figure from as close as possible to the most recent September, to account for seasonal differences. These are accompanied by an icon which indicates direction of travel since baseline which is colour coded to show whether this is a positive or negative change. Each indicator also has a description which provides a greater level of detail on how the measurements have changed between years and comparison to other Scottish Local Authorities or the 10 UK Core Cities.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proportion of Residents Reporting a Positive Perception of their Overall Quality of Life | 85% | 85% | - | 2017/18: Between 2014/15 and 2017/18, there was no change in the Glasgow level which is in line with previous positive quality of life results for the Greater Glasgow area (range of 83.5% - 86.4% between 1999 - 2011). The positive perception level was lower (82%) in bottom 15% datazones areas, compared to 88% in other areas. |
| Annual Amount (hectares) of Derelict Land Reclaimed and Vacant Land Brought Back into Usage | 62.1 | 43.2 | ▼ | 2022: Glasgow reclaimed/brought back into use the 2nd highest (43) hectares of derelict/vacant land among Scottish LAs, which was 11.6% of the total for Scotland. However, the 2022 level of land reclaimed/brought back in Glasgow was 28% and 30% lower than in 2021 and 2017 (baseline), respectively. The amount of derelict & urban vacant land in Glasgow has reduced by 3.7% in the previous 12 months, by 21.2% (8th largest reduction) since 2017 (baseline year) and by more than a third (36.2%) since 2010. Glasgow is still the LA with the highest percentage (2.8%) of derelict land within its area. 59% of the derelict/vacant land in Glasgow is in a worst 15% datazone area. This level has reduced slightly since 2017 (61.6%) but 65% of derelict/vacant land sites in Glasgow are still in a worst 15% datazones. 51% of the Scottish derelict/vacant land that is in a worst 15% datazone is located in Glasgow. |
| Total Amount (hectares) of Derelict and Vacant Land | 1,072 | 848 | ▼ | |
| Proportion reporting that they can Influence Decisions about Local Authority Services and Performance | 31.2% | 17.0% | ▼ | 2019: Since 2016 (baseline year), Glasgow's level has plummeted, reducing by 45.5% to its lowest level in the last decade, with a 13.3% reduction between 2018 and 2019. Glasgow's 2019 level was the 14th highest (3rd highest in 2016) among Scottish LAs. Glasgow's level was lower (4.9%) than the average for the Rest of Scotland (40% higher than Rest of Scotland in 2016). |
| Proportion Agreeing with statement that they would like to be More Involved in the Decisions the Council makes that Affect their Area (GHS) | 53% | 50% | ▼ | 2022: Since 2017 (baseline year) the proportion who agreed/strongly agreed reduced by 5.7%, due to a 26.5% reduction in the last year. 2022's level was the 2nd lowest level since the baseline but was more in line with the usual level than the 2021 level |
| Proportion Agreeing with statement that they would want Greater Involvement in decisions about Local Authority Services (SHdS) | 36.5% | 39.0% | ▲ | 2019: Since 2016 (baseline year), Glasgow's level has increased by 6.9% but there was a 5.1 reduction between 2018 and 2019. Glasgow's 2018 level was the highest (8th highest in 2016) among the 32 Scottish LAs with the gap between Glasgow and the Rest of Scotland widening to 34% (10 percentage points). |
| Proportion of Residents feeling Valued as a Member of their Community | 61% | 61% | - | 2017/18 - No data update since baseline. Glasgow's 2017/18 level was a 3.2% reduction from 2014/15. Prior to 2017/18, there had been an upward trend since 2002. |
| Proportion of Residents feeling Valued as a Member of their Community | 60% | 60% | - | The 2018 Glasgow Household Survey was the first time that the question was asked, figure is in line with Health & Wellbeing Survey - trend analysis will be available in future years. Assessed as Amber as initial data. |
| Proportion of Residents reporting Fairly or Strong Sense of Belonging to Community (SHdS) | 72.3% | 70.7% | ▼ | 2019: Since 2016 (baseline year), Glasgow's level has reduced by 2.2% due to a 3.5% reduction in the previous 12 months. The 2019 level is the 2nd lowest Glasgow level since 2012 and was 8.2% below the Rest of Scotland level and was 30th highest among the 32 Scottish LAs. |
| Proportion of Residents who Feel they Belong to the Local Area (H&WS) | 76% | 76% | - | 2017/18 - No data update since baseline. There was no change in the Glasgow level between 2014/15 and 2017/18. The 2017/18 level is higher than the Glasgow level in the 2016 Scottish Household Survey but still lower than the level for the Rest of Scotland. |
| Proportion of Residents who Feel they Belong to the Local Area (GHS) | 78% | 78% | - | The 2018 Glasgow Household Survey was the first time that the question was asked, figure is in line with Health & Wellbeing Survey - trend analysis will be available in future years. Assessed as Amber as initial data. |
| Proportion of Residents Living within 500m of Derelict Land | 61.7% | 53.2% | ▼ | 2022: Since 2017, there has been a 13.7% reduction in the proportion of the Glasgow population living within 500m of Derelict Land, including a 4.1% reduction between 2021 and 2022. However, Glasgow still had the 3rd highest (2nd highest in 2017 and 2021) proportion of its population living within 500m of Derelict Land among Scottish LAs, double (100.9% higher) the overall Scottish proportion (26.5%). 39.6% (40.0% in 2017) of Glasgow's population live within 500m distance of long term derelict land (since before 2006 for 2022 survey), which is the 3rd highest (2nd highest in 2017) level among Scottish LAs. Note: The 2027 target increase was achieved in 2022 so the target level will be reviewed. |
| Proportion of Fuel Poor Households | 27.0% | 25.3% | ▼ | 2017-19: The proportion of fuel poor households in Glasgow that are Fuel Poor reduced by 6.5% (estimated reduction of 3k households to 73k) on 2014-16 (baseline). Whilst Glasgow's proportion has improved since the baseline year, the level slightly worsened by 0.2% in the previous year. In comparative terms, Glasgow's position has worsened since the baseline year as Glasgow's level is 3.5% higher than the Scottish level and the 15th highest (23rd highest in 2014-16) among the 32 Scottish Local Authorities. The proportion of households in Glasgow that are suffering extreme fuel poverty has increased since baseline by 48% from 8% to 11.8% (estimated 33k households), with the percentage more than doubling among private rented households (26.6%). |
| Proportion of Households with Internet Access | 78.4% | 87.0% | ▲ | 2019: Since 2016 (baseline year), Glasgow's level increased by 10.9%, including an increase of 4.6% in the previous year. The 2019 level is the highest Glasgow level but it was still 0.9% below the Rest of Scotland level and the 20th highest (29th highest in 2016) among the 32 Scottish LAs. |
| Proportion of “Thriving Places” Residents with Positive Perception of Mental or Emotional Wellbeing | 80.4% | 80.4% | - | 2017/18 - no data update since baseline. The positive proportion in the 4 TP areas surveyed had increased by 2% since the previous survey. There was still an 8% deficit with the rest of Glasgow, but this was a reduction in the gap from 11% in 2014/15. |
| Proportion of “Thriving Places” Residents Living in a 20% most Deprived Datazone | 83.5% | 78.2% | ▼ | 2020 SIMD: Between 2016 and 2020, the proportion of TP residents living in a worst 20% datazone reduced by 6.3% to 78.2% (83.5% in 2016) across the TP areas. There was a reduction in every TP area, ranging from 0.02% in Drumchapel to 19.9% in Greater Gorbals. However, 6 TP areas experienced a lesser reduction than the overall city reduction (6.2%) and the gap between the percentage of TP and the rest of the city residents (34.3%) living in a worst 20% datazone remained the same at 119%, as the proportion for the rest of the city living in a worst 20% datazone reduced by 6.4%. |
| Proportion of “Thriving Places” Working Age Residents who are Employment Deprived | 24.8% | 20.1% | ▼ | 2020 SIMD: Between 2016 and 2020, the proportion of employment deprived reduced by 19% across the TP areas to 20.1%. There was a reduction in every TP area, ranging from 14% to 30% reduction in Parkhead/Dalmarnock. The gap between TP and the rest of the city also reduced to 71.6% from 74.4% in 2016 as the level of employment deprived reduced by 18% in the rest of the city. The 2027 target reduction was achieved so a revised target will be determined prior to the next annual update. |
| Proportion of “Thriving Places” Residents who are Income Deprived | 30.2% | 28.6% | ▼ | 2020 SIMD: Between 2016 and 2020, the proportion of income deprived across the TP areas reduced by 5.3% to 28.6%. Apart from Ruchill/Possilpark where there was a very small increase, all the other TP areas had reductions, ranging from 1% to 17% in Parkhead/Dalmarnock. However, the gap between TP and the rest of the city widened slightly to 68.8% (68.2% in 2016) as there was a greater reduction (5.6%) in the level of income deprived in the rest of the city. |
| Life Expectancy (Females) | 78.9 | 78.0 | ▼ | 2019-2021: Since 2014-16 (baseline), the estimated average Life Expectancy for females in Glasgow (78.0 years) has dropped annually, reducing by nearly a year (0.9: 1.2%) since then and by 0.3% in the last year. Glasgow's female life expectancy is the lowest (2nd lowest in 2014-16) among the 32 Scottish LA's, 3.4% below the Scottish average with the gap increasing to 2.8 years. Glasgow female LE is 5.8 years less than the highest female LE in a Scottish LA (Orkney Islands; East Renfrewshire 83.8 years). |
| Life Expectancy (Males) | 73.4 | 72.9 | ▼ | 2019-2021: Since 2014-16 (baseline), the estimated average Life Expectancy for males in Glasgow (72.9 years) has dropped, reducing by 0.6% with half the reduction happening in the previous year. Glasgow's male life expectancy remains the lowest among the 32 Scottish LA's, 4.7% below the Scottish average with the gap equating to 3.6 years. Glasgow male LE is 7.5 years less than the highest male LE in a Scotland LA (Orkney Islands 80.4 years). |
A Fairer More Equal Glasgow

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proportion of Children Living in Poverty | 29.6% | 29.4% | ▼ | 2020/21: The proportion of children living in poverty in Glasgow has reduced by 0.8% since the 2016/17 (baseline), due to an 8.8% reduction between 2019/20 and 2020/21. Glasgow's level is the lowest (lowest in 2016/17) among the 10 Core Cities, 23% below the average level for the other Core Cities. However, Glasgow's level continues to be the highest among Scottish LAs, 19% higher than the next highest Scottish LA and 41% higher than Scotland's level. |
| Proportion living in Poverty due to Laziness or Lack of Willpower | 16% | 16% | - | The 2017/18 NHS GG&C Survey was the first time that the question was asked - trend analysis will be available in future years. Assessed as Amber as initial data, no data due until 2022. |
| Proportion of Children in Relative Low-Income Families | 24.4% | 31.8% | ▲ | 2021/22: Since 2016/17 (baseline) the proportion of children (<16) living in relative low-income families in Glasgow has increased by 30.3%. With the exception of 2020/21, there has been an annual increase in the proportion since the baseline year, highlighted by a 27.7% increase between 2020/21 and 2021/22. The substantial increase in the last year has resulted in Glasgow's 2021/22 level being the 4th highest (5th highest in 2016/17) among the 10 Core Cities, 7.6% above the average level for the other Core Cities. Glasgow's 2021/22 level continued to be the highest among Scottish LAs, 11% higher than the next highest LA level. |
| Proportion Reporting that the CPP Process in Glasgow encourages more Collaborative Working between Partners. | 57.3% | 60.3% | ▲ | In 2018, there was a 5% increase from 2017 in the proportion who "agree/strongly agree" that GCPP process encourages more collaborative working between partners. This reversed the annual decline since the initial PHC survey in 2015 (73%) but was still the second lowest positive proportion recorded over the 4 PHC surveys. |
| Proportion Reporting the CPP Process in Glasgow embeds the principle of Equality in Service Design and Delivery around the Priorities of the CPP. | 63.1% | 56.9% | ▼ | In 2018, there was a 10% decrease from 2017 in the proportion who responded "agree/strongly agree" but if you exclude the "don't know" responses, the positive proportion slightly increased from 2017. The 2018 level was the second lowest positive proportion recorded over the 4 PHC surveys. However, the number of positive responses was still more than 6 times greater than the negative responses. |
| Proportion Reporting that the CPP process in Glasgow Supports the Community to be Involved in Shaping Services around the Priorities of the CPP. | 46.3% | 53.4% | ▲ | There was a 15.5% increase in the proportion who "agree/strongly agree" that the GCPP process supports the community in shaping services. The 2018 level was the highest "agree/strongly agree" proportion over the 4 PHC surveys, with the number of positive responses being more than 3 times greater than negative responses. |
| Proportion Reporting that the CPP process in Glasgow Facilitates Lasting Change around how Services are Designed and Delivered. | 47.6% | 40.9% | ▼ | There was a 14% decrease in the proportion who "agree/strongly agree" that the GCPP process facilitates lasting change in service design and delivery. The 2018 level was the lowest "agree/strongly agree" proportion over the 4 PHC surveys, even when you exclude the "don’t know" responses. However, the number of positive responses was still nearly three times higher than the negative responses. |
| Proportion of Residents who have Volunteered during the Past 12 Months (H&WS) | 20% | 20% | - | 2017/18: Between 2014/15 and 2017/18, the level of volunteering increased by 5% to a level closer to the level identified in the Scottish Household Survey. The level of volunteering (13%) in bottom 15% datazones areas is nearly half of the level (25%) in other areas in the city. |
| Proportion of Residents who have Volunteered during the Past 12 Months (SHdS) | 22.9% | 24.2% | ▲ | 2019: Since 2016 (baseline year), Glasgow's level has increased by 4.6%, due entirely to a 10.6% increase between 2018 and 2019 but is still at a level that is 7.9% below the average for the rest of Scotland. Glasgow's 2019 level was the 22nd highest (25th highest as in 2016) among the 32 Scottish LAs. |
| Proportion of Jobs below Living Wage | 14.8% | 7.1% | ▼ | April 2022: Since the baseline (2017) Glasgow's level has reduced by 52%, helped by a 38.8% reduction in the previous year. The current level is the lowest level in the last 8 years. Glasgow's 2022 level is the 2nd lowest level (46% below the average) among the 10 Core Cities and the 4th lowest among Scottish LAs (21% below the level for Scotland). Note: The 2027 target had already been reduced from 14.3% to 9.9% but will need to be further reviewed given that the revised target was achieved in 2022. |
| Percentage of Families claiming both Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits | 41.4% | 38.9% | ▼ | April 2022: Since the baseline (2017), the percentage of tax credit claiming families claiming both WTC/CTC in Glasgow has reduced by 6.1% due to an 8.1% decrease from April 2021 and is not on track to make the 2027 target. Glasgow's level in 2022 was the lowest (5th lowest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities. |
| Percentage Point Difference in Annual Wage Growth between Median and the 20th Percentile | -2.6 | -5.6 | ▼ | 2022: Since the baseline (2017), the average annual increase in the 20 percentile value for weekly full time gross pay was 4.5% whilst the average annual increase in the median value was 4.1%. This was primarily caused by a 7.8% increase between 2021 and 2022 in the 20 percentile value, 5.6 percentage points higher than the increase for the median value resulting in a 9.6% reduction in the gap between 2021 and 2022 (2021 gap: £200.60; 2022 gap £181.40). In 2022, the 20 percentile value increased to 71.4% of the median value, the highest level in the last decade, 1.9% above the 2017 baseline level (70%). However in money terms, the gap in weekly gross earnings has still increased by 16.6% (nearly £26 - 2022 gap: £181.40; 2017 gap: £155.60) since the baseline so to close the gap in weekly earnings in money terms, the 20 percentile value needs to continue to increase by levels similar to what happened between 2021 and 2022 relative to the median value. |
| % Difference in Median Hourly Rate (exc. Overtime) for Full-Time Male and Female Employees | 7.5% | 7.9% | ▲ | 2018-22: Since 2013-17 (base 5 years), the gap in the average annual median hourly pay gap between male and female full time workers has increased by 5.0%. This is due to the gap widened to 9.7% in 2022, including a 13% increase between the five year average for 2017-21 and 2018-22. During 2018-22, the average annual median hourly pay for male full time workers (£16.06) was 7.9% higher than for female full time workers (£14.89). Glasgow's 2018-22 average annual gender pay gap is nearly 58% (2.9 percentage points) higher than the equivalent pay gap (5.0%) for Scotland, whereas in 2013-17 Glasgow's pay gap was 11% lower than the Scottish's level. |
| Median Weekly (Gross) Earnings for Full Time Workers | £519.70 | £633.80 | ▲ | 2022: Since the baseline (2017), the median full time weekly gross pay has increased by 22.0%, including a 2.2% increase between 2021 and 2022, which is the lowest annual increase in the last 5 years. This lower than usual annual increase resulted in Glasgow's median gross weakly pay falling below the Scottish average level (£640.30) by 1.0% (0.8% above in 2021; 5.1% below in 2017) and fell from 14th highest in 2021 to 20th highest among the 32 Scottish LAs in 2022. Glasgow was 23rd highest in 2017. It should be noted that Glasgow's male median full time weekly gross pay (£692.60) is higher by 2.6% than the Scottish level but the equivalent for Glasgow females (£579.80) is 4.1% below the Scottish level, which again highlights the gender disparity for earnings among Glasgow residents. |
Economic Growth
| Indicator | Baseline | Latest | ▲/▼ | Latest Figure Description and Comparator Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Employment Rate | 65.1% | 72.4% | ▲ | Oct21-Sep22: Glasgow's Employment Rate has increased by 11.2% since the baseline including a 3.4% increase in the previous year. Glasgow has achieved the 2027 target level but the impact that COVID19 has on employment in Glasgow, in the medium and longer term, has still to be fully determined. In comparative terms, Glasgow's Employment Rate is the 4th highest amongst the 10 UK Core Cities (3rd lowest in 2016/17) and, for the first time, Glasgow's level is now above (1.8%) the average level (4.6% below in 2016/17) for the other UK Core Cities. Glasgow's Employment Rate is the 11th lowest (lowest in 2016/17) among the 32 Scottish LAs, 3.1% below the Rest of Scotland average level (74.8%) but the gap has reduced annually since 2017 (13.3% below in 2016/17). Note: The 2027 target increase was achieved in 2022 so the target level will be reviewed. |
| Proportion of Unemployed Assisted into Work from Council Funded/Operated Employability Programmes | 13.8% | 10.0% | ▼ | 2021-22: The proportion of UE assisted into work in Glasgow from council funded/ operated employability programmes has reduced by nearly 28% since 2017, despite a 150% increase between 2020-21 and 2021-22. This was the first year in 9 years where there haven't been a reduction in the number and percentage of UE assisted into employment in Glasgow. Even with the increase in the previous year, Glasgow's proportion has dropped to 24th highest (19th highest in 2022/21; 14th highest in 2016/17) among Scottish Local Authorities due to greater reductions elsewhere in Scotland. The average level for the Rest of Scotland (19.2%) was a 216% reduction on the previous year and Glasgow's level is 48% lower than the rest of Scotland level (19.2%). |
| Proportion of Job Seekers Allowance Claimants who are Long-term (>12 months) Claimants | 31.2% | 73.1% | ▲ | September 2022: Since the baseline (2017), the proportion of JSA claimants, who are long term claimants, has increased by 134%, even with a 6.6% reduction in the previous 12 months. Glasgow's proportion is 3rd highest (7th highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 5.1% above the average for other Core Cities. During this period, the introduction of Universal Credit has impacted on this indicator across all the Core Cities both in terms of replacing JSA for many seeking employment benefit claimants but also due to the phased introduction of UC but it should also be noted that while the total number of JSA claimants in Glasgow has reduced by 81% (n6,730) since September 2017, the number of long term JSA claimants has only reduced by 56% (n1,450). |
| Proportion of Working Age Population receiving "Out of Work" Benefits | 15.5% | 17.7% | ▲ | August 2022 (awaiting 2022 Mid-Year Estimate): In the previous year, the number of out of work benefit claimants in Glasgow reduced by 4,045 and the percentage of working age people claiming out of work benefit claimants reduced by 4.8%. However, the 2022 number is still more than 11 thousand higher than in 2019 and Glasgow's level has increased (increase of 12,656; 14.2%) since the baseline year. Glasgow's 2022 level was the 3rd highest (highest in 2017) among the Core Cities, 17.1% higher than the average level for the other Core Cities. This is due to Glasgow continuing, even with the introduction of Universal Credit, to have the highest number and highest proportion (7.5%; 1 in 13) of working age people receiving incapacity related benefits. |
| Proportion of Working Age population who are Economic Inactive | 30.4% | 25.3% | ▼ | Oct21-Sep22: Glasgow's Economic Inactivity level (25.3%) has reduced by 16.9% since the baseline year (2016-17) including a 5.8% reduction in the previous 12 months. Glasgow level of Economic Inactivity is the 6th highest level (2nd highest in 2016-17) among the 10 UK Core Cities, 3.2% higher (10% higher in 2016-17) than the average for the other Core Cities (24.5%). It should be noted that when you exclude Glasgow's 34 thousand "inactive" students, the percentage classified as economically inactive in Glasgow reduces to 19.3% which is the 5th highest among the 10 Core Cities, 9.9% higher than the average level (17.5%) for the other Core Cities. |
| Proportion of Working Age population with No Qualifications | 12.3% | 10.0% | ▼ | Jan-Dec21: Glasgow's 2021 level reduced by 19.8% on the previous year, is significantly below the average level (13.1%) for the previous 5 years and 18.4% below the baseline (2017) level. Glasgow's 2021 level is the 5th highest (4th highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 21% above the average for the other Core Cities (8.2%). |
| Proportion of Under 25's with No Qualifications | 5.8% | 4.2% | ▼ | Jan-Dec21: Glasgow's 2021 level reduced by 59% on the previous year, is the lowest level in the last decade, is below the average (7.0%) level for the last 5 years and is 27% below the baseline (2017) level. Glasgow 2021 level is the lowest (4th lowest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 55% below the average for the other Core Cities. Note: Some caution should be placed on the 2021 figure as there is no 95% confidence interval for the figure as the sample size was too small. |
| Proportion Employed in "High Skilled" Occupations | 33.5% | 34.9% | ▲ | Oct21-Sep22: Glasgow's number in "high skilled" occupations reduced by 4,400 and by 6.0% in the previous year but was still at a level that was 15,800 thousand and 4% above the baseline level. The reduction in 2021/22 means that Glasgow is no longer on track to meet the 2027 target level. Glasgow's relative position has fallen to 3rd lowest (3rd highest in 2016/17) among the Core Cities and Glasgow's level is now 9.4% below the average level for the other Core Cities. |
| Proportion Employed in "Low Skilled" Occupations | 33.6% | 27.6% | ▼ | Oct21-Sep22: Glasgow's number in "Low Skilled" occupations reduced by 9,800 in the previous year and was 7,800 lower than in 2016/17. In proportional terms, the level had reduced both in the previous year (12%) and since 2016/17 (18%). Glasgow's proportion was 4.8% lower than the other Core Cities average percentage (29.0%), ranking 5th lowest percentage (4th lowest in 2016/17) among the 10 Core Cities. |
| Proportion of "Workless" Households | 24.7% | 24.4% | ▼ | Jan-Dec21 : Between 2020 and 2021, Glasgow's number of workless households was estimated to have increased by 6,400 to the highest number since 2013 (end of world recession) and by 8.4% to the highest proportion (24.4%) of households since 2018. These were the first increases, since 2017 numerically and since 2018 in proportion terms, but the proportion of Glasgow's households that were classified as workless households was still 1.2% below the proportion in 2017. However, it is no longer on track to meet the target reduction by 2027. 19.5% (n84,300) of the working age population in Glasgow are estimated to live in a workless household. Even with the reduction since 2017, Glasgow's "workless" household proportion is the highest (2nd highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 56% above the average proportion (15.6%) for the other Core Cities and 39% above the proportion (17.6%) for the Rest of Scotland. |
| Proportion of Working Age Population with a NVQ4+ level Education | 46.4% | 53.9 | ▲ | Jan-Dec21: Glasgow's proportion with NVQ4+ increased by 4.3% in the previous 12 months to a level 19.4% above the baseline (2017) level and is above the average (48.6%) level for the last 5 years. Glasgow's level is 2nd highest (3rd highest in 2017) level among the 10 Core Cities, 20% above the average for the other Core Cities. Bristol has had the highest level among the Core Cities for each of the last 5 years. |
| Proportion of Economically Inactive who are Long-Term Sick | 28.9% | 30.8% | ▲ | Oct21-Sep22: The number and proportion of Glasgow's economic inactive that are long term sick was estimated to have decreased in the previous year by 1,800 and by 3.7% respectively. Whilst the number has reduced by 2,100 since the baseline, the proportion of economically inactive who are long term sick has actually increased since 2017 (baseline year) by 6.5%. The 5-year average proportion increased by 1.2% to 28.7% but is below both the current annual proportion and the 5 year average in 2017 (30.9%). Glasgow has the 2nd highest (2nd highest in 2016/2017) proportion among the 10 Core Cities, 25.2% higher than the average for the other Core Cities, albeit that the difference has reduced from 38.3% higher in 2016/2017. |

A male born now in Glasgow would have a healthy life expectancy that is 5.6 years lower than the average for Scotland, ?? years lower than the UK average. He would live almost a quarter (24.8%) of his life unhealthy, 18 "not healthy" years which is 2 "not healthy" years more than the average for Scotland. |
| Proportion of 16-19 Year Olds Participating in Education, Training or Employment | 88.2% | 91.2% | ▲ | August 2022: Since the baseline (2017) the participation level in Glasgow has increased by 3.4%, having increased by 0.7% between 2021 and 2022, and by 10.4% since the indicator's inception in 2015 (2015: 82.6%) to its highest level. It should be noted that there is a gap in Glasgow of 7.0 (7.8 in 2021) percentage points between the participation levels in the 20% Most Deprived and 20% Least Deprived areas (Most 89.0%; Least 96.0%). Glasgow is 26th (30th in 2021 and 2017) among the 32 Scottish LAs. The gap with the rest of Scotland has reduced to 1.4% (1.3 percentage points) from 3.5% (3.2 percentage points) in 2017. |

Glasgow has performed better than the average for the Rest of Scotland since the baseline and, has improved to 3rd highest (29th in 2016/17) among the 31 Scottish LAs (no figure for Na h-Eileanan Siar). For the second year, Glasgow's level was above the average rate for the Rest of Scotland, having moved from a 2.2% deficit in 2016/17 to a 1.5% lead in 2021/22. |
| Proportion of School Leavers in Positive Destinations - 9 months Follow Up | 90.1% | 93.8% | ▲ | 2020/21 School Leavers: Since the baseline (2017), the positive destination rate at 9 months follow up for Glasgow's School Leavers has increased by 4.1% to its highest ever level, including a 1.7% increase between 2020 and 2021. Glasgow's 2020/21 level is 14th highest among the 31 recorded Scottish LAs which is a significant improvement on its previous comparative position (2nd lowest in both 2016/17 and 2017/18). For the 2nd year running, Glasgow's level is higher (0.6% higher) than the average level for the Rest of Scotland, due to the increases since 2018/19 whilst the level for the rest of Scotland has remained the same. |

| Proportion Uptaking Nursery Places for 3 -5 years old in GCC Nurseries and Commissioned Partner Establishments | 83% | 85% | ▲ | 2017/18: In 2017/18, Glasgow's proportion of 3-5 years old taking up nursery places in GCC provision increased by 2.4%, which reversed the annual reductions that had happened in the previous 3 years. Even with the increase, the 2017/18 level didn’t achieve the annual target (86%). No update for this performance measure in the 2021/22 Education Service's ASPIR and no published 2020/21 ASPIR. |
| Proportion of FTE Teachers among Qualified Staff in funded Early Learning/Childcare Centres | 12.4% | 5.9% | ▼ | September 2022: Whilst there has been a 76% increase (n392) since 2017 in "teacher/graduate/working to be a graduate" numbers within Glasgow's ELC Centres, the proportion of teachers within the centres has reduced by 52.4% (number of teachers has reduced by 10), including a 15.4% reduction in the last year. Glasgow's 2022 level was the 4th lowest (8th highest in 2017) among the 32 Scottish LAs, 54% below the Rest of Scotland level. |
| Proportion of FTE Teachers/Graduates among Qualified Staff in funded Early Learning/Childcare Centres | 74.2% | 77.0% | ▲ | September 2022: The increase (n315) in the number of teachers/graduates has resulted in the proportion of teachers/graduates among staff in the centres increasing by 3.7%, including an increase of 3.2% between 2021 and 2022. Glasgow's 2022 proportion improved to being the 8th highest (19th highest in 2017) among the 32 Scottish LAs, 5.2% above the Rest of Scotland level. |
| Proportion who are Fairly or Very Satisfied with local Nursery Schools | 86% | 90% | ▲ | Spring 2022: Since 2017 (baseline), the nursery school satisfaction level has increased by 4.7%, due to a 27% increase between 2021 and 2022. This increase was the first increase since 2016 with the current satisfaction level being almost at the 2012. With the exception of 2021, the satisfaction with Nursery Schools has been consistently higher than for Primary and Secondary Schools. In 2022, satisfaction with nursery schools was the 2nd highest ranked (9th in 2021; 5th in 2017) among the 18 Council services that were surveyed. Note: It would appear that the 2021 results were an anomaly probably due to the impact of the pandemic on education and there was no survey in 2020 due to the pandemic. |

| Proportion of Employed Adults whose usual Method of Journey to Work is Public Transport | 28.0% | 23% | ▼ | 2021: Since 2016 (baseline), the proportion using public transport to go to work has reduced by 17.9%, caused by an annual 11.7% reduction since 2019 albeit with a 6.3% reduction in the last year. Even allowing for the reduction since 2019, Glasgow's 2021 level is 87% above the level for other Large Urban Areas and is the highest proportion among the 25 Scottish LAs with enough survey responses. The level of rail usage to work has remained relatively static since 2015 with the recent reduction being in bus usage, reducing by 35% since 2018. |

However, the 2021 level was the joint 9th lowest (lowest in 2016) among the 32 Scottish LAs, lowest of the 4 largest cities and 15.4% below the level for other large urban areas in Scotland. Note: The 2027 target will need to be reviewed given that the target was achieved in 2021. |
| Quality of Public Transport - Value for Money (Rail) | 63.2% | 55% | ▼ | 2021: Since 2016 (baseline), Glasgow's level had reduced by 13%. However, the 2021 level was still the 5th highest (6th highest of 17 LAs in 2016) among the 14 Scottish LAs with enough survey responses and 13.9% above the level for other large urban areas in Scotland. |
| Daily Number of Cycle Trips to/from City Centre | 9,706 | 13,799 | ▲ | 2021: Since 2016 (baseline), the number of city centre cycle trips has increased by 52.9%, including a 30.3% increase between 2020 and 2021. The 2020/21 increase far outweighs the reduction that occurred between 2018-20. The 2021 number of cycle trips is more than two and a half times greater than the number of trips in 2009 and is the highest number during the period 2009-21. |
| Proportion of Adults who Walked just to Keep Fit / For Pleasure at Least One Day in Previous Week | 54.3% | 70% | ▲ | 2021: Since 2016 (baseline), Glasgow's level increased by 28.9% to the highest level in 2012-21.

| Indicator | Baseline | Latest | ▲/▼ | Latest Figure Description and Comparator Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proportion of Working Age population who are Economic Inactive | 30.4% | 25.3% | ▼ | Oct21-Sep22: Glasgow's Economic Inactivity level (25.3%) has reduced by 16.9% since the baseline year (2016-17) including a 5.8% reduction in the previous 12 months. Glasgow level of Economic Inactivity is the 6th highest level (2nd highest in 2016-17) among the 10 UK Core Cities, 3.2% higher (10% higher in 2016-17) than the average for the other Core Cities (24.5%). It should be noted that when you exclude Glasgow's 34 thousand "inactive" students, the percentage classified as economically inactive in Glasgow reduces to 19.3% which is the 5th highest among the 10 Core Cities, 9.9% higher than the average level (17.5%) for the other Core Cities. |
| Proportion of Job Seekers Allowance Claimants who are Long-term (>12 months) Claimants | 31.2% | 78.2% | ▲ | September 2021: Since the baseline (2017), the proportion of JSA claimants, who are long term claimants, has increased by 151%, including a 44% increase in the previous 12 months. During this period, the introduction of Universal Credit (UC) has impacted on this indicator across all the Core Cities both in terms of replacing JSA for many seeking employment benefit claimants but also due to the phased introduction of UC but it should be noted that while the total number of JSA claimants has reduced by 72% (n5,939) since September 2017, the number of long term JSA claimants has only reduced by 29% (n755). Glasgow's proportion is 2nd highest (7th highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 11.8% above the average for other Core Cities. |
| Proportion of Working Age Population receiving "Out of Work" Benefits | 15.5% | 17.7% | ▲ | August 2022 (awaiting 2022 Mid-Year Estimate): In the previous year, the number of out of work benefit claimants in Glasgow reduced by 4,045 and the percentage of working age people claiming out of work benefit claimants reduced by 4.8%. However, the 2022 number is still more than 11 thousand higher than in 2019 and Glasgow's level has increased (increase of 12,656; 14.2%) since the baseline year. Glasgow's 2022 level was the 3rd highest (highest in 2017) among the Core Cities, 17.1% higher than the average level for the other Core Cities. This is due to Glasgow continuing, even with the introduction of Universal Credit, to have the highest number and highest proportion (7.5%; 1 in 13) of working age people receiving incapacity related benefits. |
| Proportion of Economically Inactive who are Long-Term Sick | 28.9% | 30.8% | ▲ | Oct21-Sep22: The number and proportion of Glasgow's economic inactive that are long term sick was estimated to have decreased in the previous year by 1,800 and by 3.7% respectively. Whilst the number has reduced by 2,100 since the baseline, the proportion of economically inactive who are long term sick has actually increased since 2017 (baseline year) by 6.5%. The 5-year average proportion increased by 1.2% to 28.7% but is below both the current annual proportion and the 5 year average in 2017 (30.9%). Glasgow has the 2nd highest (2nd highest in 2016/2017) proportion among the 10 Core Cities, 25.2% higher than the average for the other Core Cities, albeit that the difference has reduced from 38.3% higher in 2016/2017. |
| Proportion of Working Age population with No Qualifications | 12.3% | 10.0% | ▼ | Jan-Dec21: Glasgow's 2021 level reduced by 19.8% on the previous year, is significantly below the average level (13.1%) for the previous 5 years and 18.4% below the baseline (2017) level. Glasgow's 2021 level is the 5th highest (4th highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 21% above the average for the other Core Cities (8.2%). |
| Proportion of "Workless" Households | 24.7% | 22.5% | ▼ | Jan-Dec20: Between 2019 and 2020, Glasgow's proportion of workless household reduced by 6.6% to the lowest proportion in the last decade, with the number of workless households estimated to have reduced by 2,300 to the lowest level in the last decade. The proportion has reduced by 8.9% since the baseline year and currently on track to meet the target reduction. 16% of the working age population in Glasgow are estimated to live in a workless household. Even with the reduction since 2017, Glasgow's "workless" household proportion is the highest (2nd highest in 2017) among the 10 Core Cities, 50% above both the average proportion (15%) for the other Core Cities and 33% above the proportion (16.9%) for the Rest of Scotland. |
| Healthy Life Expectancy (Female) | 59.2 | 56.0 | ▼ | 2019-21: For the 5th year running, the HLE dropped for females in Glasgow, reducing by 2.5% in the last year and by 5.4% since the baseline. Currently, Glasgow HLE's is 30th (28th in 2014-16) among the 32 Scottish Local Authorities, 8.3% lower than the Scottish average. A female born now in Glasgow would have a healthy life expectancy that is 5.1 years lower than the average for Scotland, ?? years lower than the UK average. She would also live more than a quarter of her life unhealthy, 22 "not healthy" years which is 2.3 "not healthy" years more than the average for Scotland. |
| Healthy Life Expectancy (Male) | 58.7 | 54.8 | ▼ | 2019-21: For the fourth time in the last five years, the HLE reduced for males in Glasgow, reducing by 2.2% in the last year and by 6.7% since the baseline. Currently, Glasgow HLE's is 31st (28th in 2014-16) among the 32 Scottish Local Authorities, 9.3% lower than the Scottish average. A male born now in Glasgow would have a healthy life expectancy that is 5.6 years lower than the average for Scotland, ?? years lower than the UK average. He would live almost a quarter (24.8%) of his life unhealthy, 18 "not healthy" years which is 2 "not healthy" years more than the average for Scotland. |
| Proportion of Children Living in Poverty | 29.6% | 29.4% | ▼ | 2020/21: The proportion of children living in poverty in Glasgow has reduced by 0.8% since the 2016/17 (baseline), due to an 8.8% reduction between 2019/20 and 2020/21. Glasgow's level is the lowest (lowest in 2016/17) among the 10 Core Cities, 23% below the average level for the other Core Cities. However, Glasgow's level continues to be the highest among Scottish LAs, 19% higher than the next highest Scottish LA and 41% higher than Scotland's level. |
| Proportion of Jobs below Living Wage | 14.8% | 7.1% | ▼ | April 2022: Since the baseline (2017) Glasgow's level has reduced by 52%, helped by a 38.8% reduction in the previous year. The current level is the lowest level in the last 8 years. Glasgow's 2022 level is the 2nd lowest level (46% below the average) among the 10 Core Cities and the 4th lowest among Scottish LAs (21% below the level for Scotland). Note: The 2027 target had already been reduced by 33% to 9.9% but will need to be further reviewed given that the revised target was achieved in 2022. |
| Percentage Point Difference in Annual Wage Growth between Median and the 20th Percentile | -2.6 | -5.6 | ▼ | 2022: Since the baseline (2017), the average annual increase in the 20 percentile value for weekly full time gross pay was 4.5% whilst the average annual increase in the median value was 4.1%. This was primarily caused by a 7.8% increase between 2021 and 2022 in the 20 percentile value, 5.6 percentage points higher than the increase for the median value resulting in a 9.6% reduction in the gap between 2021 and 2022 (2021 gap: £200.60; 2022 gap £181.40). In 2022, the 20 percentile value increased to 71.4% of the median value, the highest level in the last decade, 1.9% above the 2017 baseline level (70%). However in money terms, the gap in weekly gross earnings has still increased by 16.6% (nearly £26 - 2022 gap: £181.40; 2017 gap: £155.60) since the baseline so to close the gap in weekly earnings in money terms, the 20 percentile value needs to continue to increase by levels similar to what happened between 2021 and 2022 relative to the median value. |
| Proportion of “Thriving Places” Residents who are Income Deprived | 30.2% | 28.6% | ▼ | 2020 SIMD: Between 2016 and 2020, the proportion of income deprived across the TP areas reduced by 5.3% to 28.6%. Apart from Ruchill/Possilpark where there was a very small increase, all the other TP areas had reductions, ranging from 1% to 17% in Parkhead/Dalmarnock. However, the gap between TP and the rest of the city widened slightly to 68.8% (68.2% in 2016) as there was a greater reduction (5.6%) in the level of income deprived in the rest of the city. |
| Proportion of Fuel Poor Households | 27.0% | 25.3% | ▼ | 2017-19: The proportion of fuel poor households in Glasgow that are Fuel Poor reduced by 6.5% (estimated reduction of 3k households to 73k) on 2014-16 (baseline). Whilst Glasgow's proportion has improved since the baseline year, the level slightly worsened by 0.2% in the previous year.
