Socio-Economic Research
At EKOS, we are committed to influencing change though an evidence-based approach to policy and practice, and all of our work is underpinned by the clear thinking and insight that comes from effective research.
We undertake socio-economic research across a broad range of areas, including:
Community profiles and baseline studies
To support informed assessment of the challenges facing communities, and help identify potential solutions.
Area baselines
To describe in detail the socio-economic conditions in specific areas to inform economic development and regeneration at local and regional levels.
Industry reviews
Analysing the scale and structure of key industry sectors and value chains, identifying potential for future growth and development.
Labour market analysis
Across the full extent of the labour market, identifying key skills issues and challenges in a range of thematic and geographic contexts.
We also have long standing relationships with a range of market research providers, allowing us to undertake large-scale primary research cost-effectively.
