| Labour Force Survey | |||

| Impact indicator covers age. Splits currently available by disability, ethnicity, religion and gender. | |||
| Information on sexual orientation is only made available on a separate version of the data, the Integrated Household Survey, so it is not possible to provide estimates for this group. | |||
| The LFS does not record whether or not respondents are pregnant or have undergone gender reassignment, so it is not possible to provide separate estimates for these groups. | |||
| Latest data available at July 2013 covered Quarter 1 2013. | |||
| Produced monthly approximately six weeks after the period referred to. | |||
| Three months data are combined for the indicator. | |||
| Not set | |||
| What does this tell us? | |||
| Not set | |||
| This indicator shows of the 18-24 year olds not in full time education, what proportion are also not in employment and is measured by dividing the number of 18-24 years olds who are not in employment or full-time education by the total number of 18-24 year olds who are not in full time education. | |||
| The indicator will measure the Department's success in improving the percentage of young people engaged in a positive activity such as employment, education or training. | |||
| It recognises the importance of raising participation in education and improving labour market outcomes for young people not in full-time education. | |||
| Not set | |||
| How will an improvement be shown? | |||
| Not set | |||
| Generally, a decrease in the indicator will demonstrate an improvement in the labour market position of young people. However, economic conditions will also need to be taken into account. | |||
| Not set | |||
| The tables on the additional tabs also provide estimates for one year and two years prior to the latest data, for comparison purpses. | |||
| The estimates do not match exactly those published in the previous Equality Report, because they have been revised by ONS to take account of updated population estimates. | |||
| Estimates by religion and ethnicity look at annual averages. Individual quarters are not given due to sample sizes. These estimates are not available on a consistent basis prior to 2011, due to a change in the relevant Labour Force Survey question in line with the 2011 Census, and so are not available for the year to Q1 2011 (two years prior to the latest data). | |||

| Ethnicity questions in the Labour Force Survey were changed in 2011, in line with the 2011 Census. The impact of these changes is under assessment by the Office for National Statistics. Comparisons over time should be treated with caution. | Not set | Not set | |

| Notes: | |||
| 1. As with the overall measure, this measure uses LFS data. However, unlike the overall measure, this data is seasonally unadjusted and only released quarterly. Therefore it is not fully comparable with the overall measure. | |||
| 2. Disability includes those who are disabled under the Equality Act definition. It covers the individual rather than the household. | |||
| 3. This looks at the rate of the total of the four quarters from Quarter 2 2012 to Quarter 1 2013 (April 2012- March 2013) inclusive. Individual quarters are not given due to sample sizes. | |||
| 4. This data is fully comparable with the overall measure using the ONS seasonally adjusted data. | |||
| 5. Total includes young people with unknown disability | |||
| 6. Total includes young people with unknown ethnic origin | |||
| 7. Total includes young people with unknown religion | |||
| 8. Totals may differ depending on whether or not the data are seasonally adjusted, and whether figures are given over one quarter or as an average over four quarters. | |||
| 9. Data are rounded to the nearest 0.1 percentage points. |
