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. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
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. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set

APS data is now used for religion and ethnicity rather than annual averages of the LFS because the ONS has advised that this gives more robust estimates. Not set Not set Not set Not set 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. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
It recognises the importance of raising participation in education and improving labour market outcomes for young people not in full-time education. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set

How will an improvement be shown? Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set 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 Not set Not set Not set Not set

The tables on the additional tabs also provide estimates since 2011, where available, for comparison purposes. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
The estimates do not match exactly those published in the previous Equality Report, because the underlying data have been revised by ONS to take account of updated population estimates. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
Estimates by religion and ethnicity use APS data because sample sizes for individual LFS quarters are too small. 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.

Changes in Q2 2013 to the wording of the disability questions within the survey questionnaire, and a move to only reporting those who are disabled within the core definition of the Equality Act, Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
have led to a step change in the levels of reported disability and their composition (e.g. proportion in employment). The move to only reporting those who are disabled within the core definition of the Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
Equality Act and the change in the wording of the questions, is to bring the Labour Force Survey in line with the GSS harmonised definition for disability, which is being rolled out across all surveys. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set
This has occurred as a result of the Equality Act 2010. Therefore, estimates of disability from the Labour Force Survey for 2013 onwards should not be compared directly with earlier years. Not set Not set Not set Not set Not set

1. As with the overall measure, this measure uses LFS data. However, unlike the overall measure, this data is not seasonally adjusted and only released quarterly.
