SUSTAINABLE GROW TH IN VÄRML AND 9EvaluationThe main aim of the evaluation is to enable us to achieve a more “instructive regionaldevelopment policy”, that is to say, we should be able to learn both from what we havedone and from comparing our results with what others have achieved. It is also importantto monitor how funds are used.To monitor developments in the county and place our actions in a more general context,we have devised a list of effect indicators which may be used to determine whether wehave achieved our goals. Our goals reflect a realistic appraisal of the present status whileattempting to attain the national ambitions of the government. Our effect indicators arebased on public statistics which can be monitored annually.Effect indicatorsIndicator Present Goal 2007GRP (MSEK) 55 731 (2000) 68 100Energy used in relation to 351 (2000) 325processing value (MWh/MSEK)Average wage (MSEK) 23 519 ( 2001) 28 000Net immigration to the county M: 301 (2002) M: 350F: 170 F: 250Business climate 178 (2002) 150Percentage gainfully employed M: 74.7 (2001) M: 78,0F: 72,0 F: 75,0Percentage gainfully employed M: 51,5 (2001) M: 55,0– born outside the country F: 50,1 F: 55,0Percentage of 20–64 year olds M: 21,8 (2002) M: 30,0with post-secondary education F: 28,6 F: 35,0Research volume at KaU 224 (2001) 300(man-years)Students participating in 2 400 (2001/02) 3 000distance education4
