2 Chapter 2: How many outsourced workers are there in the UK?

2.1 How many UK workers are outsourced?

#how-many
  • Around 1 in 6 UK workers meet our definition of an outsourced worker
  • The ‘outsourced sub-group’ is the most dominant of the three sub-groups - meaning the total group is predominantly made up of people who self-identify as an outsourced worker and they say they are hired to do work that is long-term or ongoing. People included in this sub-group (either uniquely, or while also meeting the criteria for at least one of the other sub-groups) make up around 67% (check) of our total outsourced group, or nearly 7 in 10. This group makes up X of all UK workers.

1 in 6 (17%) of UK workers are outsourced.1

In terms of the the different possible types of outsourced groups2, the numbers are as follows:

  1. Definitely outsourced: 11%
  2. Likely agency: 3%
  3. High indicators: 3%

People included in this sub-group (either uniquely, or while also meeting the criteria for at least one of the other sub-groups) make up around 68% of our total outsourced group. This group makes up 11% of all UK workers.

#non-exclusive-subgroups1
  • The two other sub-groups – the agency and indicators sub-groups – are less dominant in comparison. Around 58% of all respondents meet the criteria for either or both of these sub-groups, but this falls to around 33% if we exclude people who are already captured in the outsourced sub-group. Excluding the first sub-group, these other two groups makes up X of all UK workers.

The percentages here refer to the number of people who are outsourced (super-ordinate group), not the total number of respondents. Below I provide percentages as function of the outsourced super-ordinate group as well as the total sample

Group criteria

  • Outsourced, defined as responding ‘I am sure I am outsourced’ or ‘I might be outsourced’, and responding ‘I do work on a long-term basis’.
  • Likely agency, defined as those responding ‘I am sure I am agency’ and ‘I do work on a long-term basis’, excluding those people who are already defined as being outsourced.
  • High indicators: defined as responding TRUE to 5 or 6 of the outsourcing indicators, as well as responding ‘I do work on a long-term basis’, excluding those people who are already defined as outsourced or likely agency.

neither 8446.64421 8472 8993.922 93.9150243 9032

9.48% of the whole sample meet the criteria for either or both of these sub-groups. This falls to 6.08% if we exclude people who are already captured in the outsourced sub-group.

Out of those who are in the ‘outsourced’ status (i.e., the combination of the three outsourced groups), 57.99% meet the criteria for either or both of these sub-groups, but this falls to around 33.27% if we exclude people who are already captured in the outsourced sub-group.

#non-exclusive-subgroups2
  • There is some overlap between these sub-groups, but they are not like for like. Just over a quarter (27%) of respondents are in more than one sub-group, while nearly three quarters (73%) of respondents are uniquely captured in just one of the three sub-groups.

Just over a quarter (26.35%) of respondents are in more than one sub-group, while nearly three quarters (73.65%) of respondents are uniquely captured in just one of the three sub-groups.3

2.2 Evaluating our total estimate

#evaluating-total-estimate To do
  • Around 1 in 4 “outsourced” respondents sit in more than one sub-group within our definition, but around 3 in 4 are uniquely captured in just one of the three sub-groups - predominantly in the outsourced sub-group.
  • As figure X shows, not all respondents in the outsourced sub-group said yes five or six of our six outsourcing

3.3 Outsourced workers are on average younger than non-outsourced workers

#age
  • We find that outsourced workers are significantly younger than non-outsourced workers, on average. The median age of an outsourced worker is 35, compared to a median age of 43 for a non-outsourced worker.
  •  the outsourced and indicator sub-groups – people who directly said that they were or might be outsourced, or ticked a high number of our indicators of outsourced working – see higher proportions of younger workers than the “agency” sub-group.
#age-violin

INSERT VIOLIN PLOT CHART HERE SHOWING MEDIAN AGE OF EACH SUB-GROUP, COMPARED TO NON-OUTSOURCED WORKERS. Is this necessary? We already have the density plots

Outsourced workers are on average younger than non-outsourced workers. The median age of the outsourced group is 36 , compared to 43 for the not outsourced group.28 This difference is statistically significant.29

Not outsourced 42.80 43 16 80 13.08 8472
Outsourced 38.63 36 16 78 13.07 1683

The higher concentration of younger workers identified above appears to be driven primarily by the ‘outsourced’ and ‘high indicator’ groups, whilst the ‘likely agency’ group follows a similar pattern to the non-outsourced group.30

#gender
  • The evidence also finds meaningful differences by gender between the outsourced and non-outsourced groups in our data. Men make up 56% of the outsourced workforce compared to 47% of the non-outsourced workforce, a nearly 10 percentage point difference.

  • Outsourced workers are 1.44 times more likely to be male than female. 

  • The group with the largest proportion of men in the workforce is the ‘high indicators’ group (66.35%), followed by the ‘likely agency’ group (56.66%), followed by the ‘outsourced’ group (53.94%). Comparison of outsourced and non-outsourced workers finds that

  • Someone in the high indicators sub-group is 2.18 times more likely to be male than female.

  • Someone in the agency sub-group is 1.45 times more likely to be male than female.

  • Someone in the outsourced sub-group is 1.31 times more likely to be male than female.

#gender-sector
  • Possible addition: Will readers want to know more about how this intersects with the roles or sectors with higher rates of outsourcing – even if this is just an interpretive comment from us on how gender interacts with jobs and sectors more generally in the labour market?

The outsourced workforce consists of a greater proportion of males than the non-outsourced workforce.31 Men make up 56% of the outsourced workforce compared to 47% of the non-outsourced workforce. This difference is statistically significant; outsourced workers, compared to non-outsourced workers, are 1.44 times more likely to be male than female.32

Breaking down by outsourcing group, we find that the group with the largest proportion of men in the workforce is the ‘high indicators’ group (66.35%), followed by the ‘likely agency’ group (56.66%), followed by the ‘outsourced’ group (53.94%). Statistically speaking, compared to a not outsourced person,

  • Someone in the high indicators group is 2.18 times more likely to be male than female.
  • Someone in the likely agency group is 1.45 times more likely tobe male than female.
  • Someone in the outsourced group is 1.31 times more likely tobe male than female.

Additionally, people identifying as ‘Other’ gender are absent from the high indicators and likely agency groups, though given the small N (14) for this group, this finding is unlikely to be meaningful.

3.4 Outsourced workers are more likely to work in some sectors than others; but seem to be spread across the labour market

#sectors
  • The three most common sectors for outsourced workers in our survey to be employed within – excluding those with an N size below X (50?) – were administrative and support service activities; water supply, sewerage, waste supply and remediation activities; and other service activities

  • Five of the twenty employment sectors have at least 1 in 5 of their workforce “outsourced”: more than the average of around 17% across the whole workforce.

Here we explore what proportion of workers in each sector are outsourced.33

The plot below shows the proportion of outsourced and not outsourced workers within each sector. I.e. this is showing what sectors have higher and lower proportions of outsourced workers.

The top three Sectors with the highest proportion of outsourced workers are:

  • ACTIVITIES OF HOUSEHOLDS AS EMPLOYERS; UNDIFFERENTIATED GOODS-AND SERVICES-PRODUCING ACTIVITIES OF HOUSEHOLDS FOR OWN US (note that N = 31)
  • ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT SERVICE ACTIVITIES
  • WATER SUPPLY; SEWERAGE, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES

Note that for an undefined sector (‘Not found’) contained one of the largest proportions of outsourced workers (31% of workers in the ‘Not found’ category were outsourced).

A key takeaway here is that whereas the total outsourced population is 17%, this figure varies by sector, from 0% for Mining… and Extraterritoral organisations… all the way to 36% for Activities of households as employers, with 5 out 20 sectors having at least 20% of their workforce outsourced.

#sectors-ogroup
  • Figure X also shows how the total outsourced group in each sector splits into our three outsourced “sub-groups”. We find – as you might expect, based on its dominance within the group of outsourced workers – that outsourced workers in every sector are most likely to be in the “outsourced sub-group”, i.e. those who self-identified as outsourced workers.

4 Pay

’#pay
  • Using regression analysis, we find that outsourced workers are on average paid £2170 less than non-outsourced workers .

  • The “outsourced sub-group” earns £3,813 less, and the “agency sub-group” £2,603 less, than the non-outsourced group. This finds that pay is lowest in the “outsourced sub-group” of workers, i.e. those who directly identified themselves as being outsourced. Figure X below shows the median and distribution of pay across the three outsourced sub-groups and the non-outsourced group, for comparison.

4.1 Gender pay gap

#gender-pay-gap
  • On average within our sample, male workers earn £6400 more than female workers per year; but further exploration of how pay relates to gender for outsourced workers suggests that this gender pay gap doesn’t differ in a statistically significant way depending on whether workers are outsourced or not

  • For female outsourced workers, this suggests that being an outsourced worker neither exacerbates nor diminishes the gender pay gap they face compared to male workers. Check what this controls for

Annual40:

Exploring the gender pay gap by outsourcing status indicates that the pay gap does not differ depending on whether workers are outsourced our not. For non-outsourced workers, females are paid £5800.82 less than males. For outsourced workers, females are paid £6399.5 less than males. The difference between non-outsourced and outsourced workers is not significant.

Weekly41:

Exploring the gender pay gap by outsourcing status indicates that the pay gap does not differ depending on whether workers are outsourced our not. For non-outsourced workers, females are paid £124.63 less than males. For outsourced workers, females are paid £137.5 less than males. The difference between non-outsourced and outsourced workers is not significant.

The gender by outsourcing status is also not relevant for whether a worker is low income (i.e. non-sig relationship with income_group).

4.1.2 Outsourcing group

Annual data files42:

Weekly43:

The gender by outsourcing group is also not relevant for whether a worker is low income (i.e. non-sig relationship with income_group).

#gender-income-group
  • In particular, people are more likely to be in our low-paid outsourced group if they are female, or older workers .

Income group44

A person is more likely to be in the low income group if they are:

  • Older
  • Female
  • Don’t have a degree (or don’t know if they have a degree?)
  • Are outsourced
  • Arrived in the UK in the last year

And less likely if they are:

  • Younger
  • Male
  • Have a degree
  • Live in the North West or Wales (compared to London)
  • Arrived in the UK in last 30 years
#gender-by-pay-split

Is there already a basic low / high pay split for gender? I know you talk about women being more likely to be in the low-paid group, but again not sure if there is just a basic “women make up x% of low pay group and x% of not low pay group”?

60.34% of outsourced workers in the low pay group were female, compared to 35.85% of outsourced workers in the not low pay group. This difference is statistically significant; women are more likely to be in the low income group. This pattern is the same for non outsourced workers, and there is no interaction effect; irrespective of outsourcing status, women are more likely to be low paid, and irrespective of gender, outsourced people are more likely to be low paid.

#pay-gap-sector
  • Overall, we find that workers in administrative and support service activities – one of the dominant sectors for outsourced workers in this research – are more likely to be lower-paid than non-outsourced workers in the same sector. The same is true for outsourced water supply (full name; sewerage, waste etc.) workers – another prominent outsourcing sector – information and communication, transportation and storage, and education workers, amongst others. In contrast, we find outsourced workers in financial and insurance activities, for example, appear to be slightly higher paid on average than their non-outsourced counterparts; however, this is one of the few sectors in which this appears to be the case.to be confirmed

I don’t quite understand the chart below the above chart in the file, would you be able to explain it – thanks! Is this the best chart to use, above? Does this need to control for anything else to show us the most accurate analysis of pay by sector for outsourced and non outsourced, or are we confident that this is showing us something notable about sector and pay?

4.2 Sectors/occupations

4.2.1 Sector and occupation hierarchy

The data from Opinium has four variables relating to sectors/occupations. These are

  • SectorName
  • Majorgroupcode
  • MajorsubgroupOccupation
  • UnitOccupation

SOC 2020 has nine major groups, 26 sub-major groups, 104 minor groups and 412 unit groups. The variables we have appear to map in the following way:

  • Majorgroupcode = the 9 ‘major groups’
  • MajorsubgroupOccupation = the 26 ‘sub-major’ groups
  • UnitOccupation = the 104 ‘minor groups’

This last pairing is the point of confusion. The ‘UnitOccupation’ wording came from Opinium and these categories match the coding index where they are confusingly referred to as ‘unit groups’ even though they are the minor groups.

There is no variable in our data that relates to the most disaggregated category, the 412 ‘unit groups’.

The unique values of each variable are shown in each section below.

4.2.2 Sectoral pay differences

4.2.2.1 Weekly45

4.2.2.2 Hourly46

4.2.2.3 Comparing pay penalty between weekly and hourly

Note only consider n >= 10

The table below shows the pay difference between outsourced and non-outsourced workers by sector. Negative values indicate pay penalties for outsourced workers. The ‘pattern_reverse’ column indicates the 4 sectors where the direction of the difference is different if you consider hourly versus weekly pay difference.

For example, per week, outsourced workers in PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES earn £1.77 less than non-outsourced counterparts, but per hour they are paid on average 1.3y more than non-outsourced workers. This suggests that outsourced rates are higher in this occupation, but the amount of work available is not enough for outsourced people to earn more than non-outsourced people on a weekly basis.

The reverse pattern indicates sectors where outsourced workers are paid less per hour but work more hours and earn more per week than their non-outsourced counterparts.

For example, per week, teaching professionals who are outsourced earn £82 less than non-outsourced counterparts, but per hour they are paid on average 16p more than non-outsourced workers. This suggests that outsrouced rates are higher in this occupation, but the amount of work available is not enough for outsrouced people to earn more than non-outsoruced people on a weekly basis.

The reverse pattern is evident for the other three. For example, outsourced workers in food preparation and hospitality earn on average 40p less an hour than non-outsourced workers, but earn on average £17 more per week than non-outsourced workers. This suggests that outsourced workers in this occupation are paid less but work more hours than their non-outsourced counterparts.

4.3 London has a disproportionate share of the UK’s outsourced workers, followed by the East and West Midlands

#regions
  • In London, around 25% of workers are outsourced – the highest proportion of any region in the UK. London is followed by the East Midlands (19%) and West Midlands (18%) in the share of workers in the region who are outsourced, with the East of England being the region with the lowest share of outsourced workers as part of the total employed workforce, at 13%.

  • Possible addition: Should this include some comment on WHY we think this might be the case? Should we look at sectoral splits in London, compared to everywhere else, to see whether there are significant sector differences that might explain this trend?

The plot below shows the proportion of workers within each region who are outsourced.61

Below we map the workforce composition in each region. The first map emphasises that London has the highest concentration of outsourced workers (25%).

The second map excludes London so that is easier to see how the remaining regions compare. After London, the regions with the highest proportion of outsourced workers are:

  1. East Midlands (19%)
  2. West Midlands (18%)
  3. Wales (18%)
  4. North West (17%)
  5. Northern Ireland (16%)

We can also explore how the the entire UK workforce is distributed across the country.62 The table and map below show the percentage of outsourced workers in each region as a proportion of the total UK workforce. They show where the UK’s outsourced workforce is concentrated. The regions with the highest share of the UK’s outsourced workforce are:

  1. London (21%)
  2. North West (11%)
  3. South East (11%)
  4. West Midlands (9%)
  5. East Midlands (8%)
