Birmingham Profile

Published: July 2008

The following information provides a socio economic profile of Birmingham. The profile includes information on:

• Birmingham’s demography (population data from the 2001 Census and population projections)
• Birmingham’s labour market (employment, qualifications, unemployment and benefit claimants)
• Birmingham’s economy (output, business stock and earnings)

The data used in the profile is taken from various official datasets. These official datasets come with a time lag but in all cases the most recent data has been used. The population census is carried out every 10 years with the next Census due in 2011.
