Promoting cohesion - Equalities Sample Clauses

Promoting cohesion - Equalities schemes The partners work closely together on equalities issues, including on community engagement and the preparation of equalities schemes. A partnership equalities plan was prepared in 2007, and engagement work carried out that year reflected appreciation of the partnership approach amongst equalities communities. Key issues for the partners include: • Improving opportunity for women and girls into employment, particularly single parents and unemployed school leavers, improving pay for women in relation to men (taken overall, women earn £75 a week less than men, there are fewer women in full time work than men, and they earn £104 less a week than men) and workforces still tend to be gender segregated (Highland Council is in the bottom quartile of Councils for women managers (top 2% of earners) and encouraging women to participate more in public life (75% of elected Council Members are men) • Designing and adapting services for the 20% of the Highland population who have a disability (comparable with Scottish levels) including improving employability as noted above. • Providing support for people with a learning disability living in their own tenancies (59% of people with a learning disability in Highland have tenancies compared to Scottish average of 28%) and in employment (40% are found to be in employment compared to Scottish average of 14%). • Adapting services and assisting people with sensory impairment. In Highland 884 people are registered blind and 634 as partially sighted. 33,650 people are estimated to have some form of hearing impairment, including 2570 who are severely or profoundly deaf. • Approximately 1,700 persons from BME communities were recorded in the 2001 census in Highland making up 0.8% of the total population. This is a higher proportion than reported in 1991 (0.5%) but smaller than the national average of 2% in 2001. The most represented single group from a BME population was the Chinese community, (16% of the BME population, n = 272) but South Asian as a whole (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and other S. Asian) made up one third of the total BME population (n = 543). BME communities are scattered across the whole of Highland, with higher proportions in the centres of population around the inner Moray Firth. The Census data highlights that the overall unemployment rate was lower amongst BME groups than the white population (3.4% as against 4.3%), but that there were distinctive differences between BME groups, the most notable o...

  • Profitability The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by XXXX under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
