UKCS OFFSHORE WORKFORCE DEMOGRAPHICS REPORT 2013

More broadly, figures 28 and 29 compare the workers’ age ranges between 2006 and 2012. This reveals that 2012 saw a reversal of the previous reduction in mid-career personnel. However these numbers remain considerably lower than the growth seen in all other age brackets, illustrating a continual gap in the mid-career workforce.
