Purpose
The workforce per population calculation measures the number of workers employed against the total population.
These calculations are available in several reports on TDI.
Psychology Services Workforce official statistics publication
Workforce per 100,000 population = (Total Staff in Post / Total Population )*100000
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Workforce official statistics publication
Workforce per 100,000 population = (Total Staff in Post / Total Population )*100000
Workforce per 100,000 child and adolescent population (0-18 year old) = [Total Staff in CAMHS workforce / Total child and adolescent population (0-18 year old)] *100000
where, Total Population and Child and adolescent population (0-18 year old) are obtained using Mid-Year Population Estimates available from National Records for Scotland.
NHSScotland pharmacy workforce (managed service) official statistics publication
Workforce per 10,000 population = (Employment / Population) * 10,000
Mid-year population estimates: time series data are used to calculate the employment per 10,000 population. The time series takes into account any revisions or corrections over the year.
Mid-year populations are published annually with estimates provided for the previous year. For example, in 2024 the mid-2023 population estimates were published. As a result, any census point published without a corresponding population estimate will be marked as provisional and the latest available population estimate will be used until the correct year has been published.
