The Economic Value of the Adult Social Care sector - Scotland
Skills for Care and Development (SfCD) required robust estimates of the economic value of
the adult social care sector in each of the four nations of the UK. This included:
■ The annual Gross Value Added (GVA) generated directly by the adult social care sector
(including public sector activities within the sector as well as the independent sector)
(direct impact);
■ The supply chain multiplier for the adult social care sector (indirect impact); and
■ The wage multiplier for the adult social care sector (induced impact).
This report provides estimates for these research aims for Scotland. It also provides
estimates of employment due to the adult social care sector (direct, indirect and induced
employment) and the level of productivity in the sector (GVA per worker)
