2. Overview of LSEO
Aims:
Create and maintain a clear, accessible and
independent evidence base on London’s
labour market
Act as a catalyst for generating debate on
opportunities and challenges in London’s labour
market
Bring London stakeholders together to
discuss major themes through our forum
meetings
Provide access to the latest performance data
on programmes, projects and initiatives linked to
the labour market
3. LSEO until 2013...
Monthly labour market updates
Updated annual London Story

6. Key research
questions
1.What is the scale of “low pay, no pay”
and characteristics of cyclers ?
2.How are organisations currently
responding?
3.What works? How can best practice be
scaled up / shared?
4.Do we need an advancement strategy?
7. Our approach
Literature review
Interim report
Final report
8. Early findings
Women, lone parents, those with disabilities and those
with low qualifications significantly more likely to cycle
‘Manufacturing’ and ‘distribution, hotels and restaurants’
are industries that present greatest risk of cycling
Certain occupations particularly risky:
9. Early findings
Women, BAME groups, and those with
disabilities comparatively more likely to
progress in work in London than in the rest
of the UK = good
BUT
Moving to a new job or undertaking job-
related training less likely to have an impact
on progression in London than in the rest of
the UK = not so good
10. How can you help?
Important that your voice is heard in this
debate – think WP mark II, future ESF
provision, in-work conditionality within
Universal Credit
Input into our survey on retention and
progression (available next week)
Share with us your experiences on job
retention, job sustainability and progression
Is there appetite for a London VCS
roundtable?
