UKCS Offshore Workforce Demographics Report 2015

UKCS OFFSHORE WORKFORCE DEMOGRAPHICS REPORT 2015

Figure 30 compares the number of workers in the 23 to 28 and 60 to 65 age brackets. In 2014, the percentage rises in both categories were much lower, at 3.6 per cent and 2.9 per cent, respectively, compared with 14.7 per cent and nine per cent in 2013. This clearly demonstrates that the age profile of offshore personnel remained constant and that ‘the great crew change’ was anecdotal.
