WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6TH JUNE 2017
Question
What figures, if any, does the Minister have from the quarterly number of licences registered under Control of Housing and Work legislation, or from the labour market reports, on the number of care workers arriving in the Island since 2012 in the sectors entitled in those reports education, health and other services' and miscellaneous business activities'?
Answer
People applying for licences under the Control of Housing and Work Law are not required to declare what kind of work they are seeking.
When businesses provide information for the labour market survey on how many people they employ, they are not required to provide job titles. So while a care home might employ 40 people, they are not asked how many are care workers and how many are receptionists, chefs, gardeners or maintenance staff.
The Chief Statistician advises that the Statistics Unit could, if required, analyse labour market data to estimate changes in the numbers of non-qualified workers in specific industries. The Deputy is invited to discuss this with the Chief Statistician.
