Social & Economic Data

Diagram of Social and Economic Data
Data that has been collected for the purpose of identifying social and economic impacts.

Social and economic data can be collected on a project level (site-specific and local data), or on a strategic level (regional or national data). This tag includes a variety of data types that are collected as part of identifying the human impacts of wind or marine energy developments. For more information on social and economic data collection, view the Social and Economic Data Collection Short Science Summary or the Good Management Practices for Social and Economic Data Collection paper developed by OES-Environmental.

Types of social data that might be in this section include:

  • Effects on indigenous and remote communities
  • Impact of local infrastructure and services
  • Impact to health and well-being
  • Energy security
  • Improvement to infrastructure
  • Population demographics
  • Social Impact Assessments (SIAs)

Types of economic data that might be in this section include:

  • Impact on local employment and businesses
  • Impact to supply chain
  • Increase in Gross Value Added (GVA)
  • Export of products and services
  • Ecosystem service valuations
  • Access to economic activity
