UKCS Offshore Workforce Demographics Report 2015
UKCS OFFSHORE WORKFORCE DEMOGRAPHICS REPORT 2015
Figure 8 represents the geographical distribution of the workforce as a cluster graph. It is evident that the distribution has been relatively stable since the first data collection of offshore demographics in 2006.

There have been some noticeable changes between 2006 and 2014, particularly in the W of S region, with the number of male and female workers rising by 40.1 per cent and 57.1 per cent, respectively. The only percentage decrease between 2006 and 2014 was found in the female workforce travelling to the southern North Sea, whilst the most noticeable percentage increases were for the female numbers travelling to the northern North Sea and the male workers travelling to Morecambe Bay. It is interesting to note that exactly the same number of female workers travelled to multiple sectors throughout the UKCS in 2006 as they did in 2014.
