[...] Second, the LS 5A ’usual resident’ of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months. [...] A much larger proportion of workers of both sexes are employed in blue-collar occupations in highly-exposed industries (columns 3 and 6) and the frac- tions of workers in these occupations are more similar for men and women: 50% of men employed in trade-exposed industries are employed in blue-collar industries compared to 46% of women. [...] These are generated such that at least 75% of the area’s resident workforce work in the area and at least 75% of the people who work in the area also live in the area. [...] In addition to studying the impact of this shock on individuals’ employment in manufacturing and participation in the workforce, we study broader margins of adjustment at both the in- dividual and the household level, including the shock’s impact on self-employment, re- tirement, family formation and family stability, and family labour supply.
