Glasgow City Region Foundational Economy Survey

The Glasgow City Region Intelligence Hub, an economic research & insights team based in Glasgow City Region’s Programme Management Office, is undertaking a survey to better understand the challenges faced by key ‘Foundational Economy’ sectors within Glasgow City Region (GCR).

GCR consists of eight partner councils (Glasgow, Inverclyde, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire) working to improve GCR, one of the largest UK city regions and Scotland’s economic powerhouse.

The information gathered will play a crucial role in shaping the development of the GCR Foundational Economy Programme. For the purposes of this survey, the ‘Foundational Economy’ is defined as ‘the part of the economy that supplies everyday but essential goods and services that keep us safe and civilised, needed for social and economic functioning and wellbeing’.

This includes sectors such as, construction, hospitality and leisure, retail, education, childcare, health, and social care, among others.
