Indicators of Sustainable Development |
| | Sustainable Development Home | Indicators Home | Introduction | |
Since 1990, Gross Value Added (GVA) per head, a measure of economic activity has been increasing relative to the UK average in the East of England, London, the South East and Northern Ireland, but decreasing in the rest of the UK.
Throughout 1998 to 2001, growth in new businesses net of closures was strongest in London and the South East of England and weakest in Wales.
Between 1999 to 2003, the employment rate for ethnic minorities remained below the overall rate. However, over the last 10 years the unemployment rate for ethnic minorities has decreased by 7 percentage points.
