The Social Mobility Strategy committed DWP to developing an indicator of wage progression, whilst acknowledging that other indicators of labour market success will also form part of a wider suite of indicators of social Not set Not set Not set Not set

The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) is based on a 1% sample of employee jobs taken from HM Revenue and Customs PAYE records. Information on earnings and hours is obtained from employers and treated confidentially. ASHE does not cover the self-employed nor does it cover employees not paid during the reference period.

An increase in the percentage of the group that progressed in the labour market will demonstrate an improvement in social mobility. However, the percentage with no data available in 2014 will also need to be taken into account. Not set Not set Not set Not set

1. Data is rounded to the nearest 0.1 percentage points Not set Not set Not set Not set
2. This indicator is measured using the ASHE and the earnings variable of interest is gross hourly earnings excluding overtime where earnings are not affected by absence. For individuals with more than one job (about 2% of employees in the sample) only their ‘main job’ is included in the analysis; as defined by the job with the greatest gross weekly pay and then the greatest total hours. Not set Not set Not set Not set
3. ASHE does not contain information on disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sexual orientation or marriage and civil partnership. Not set Not set Not set Not set
4. This indicator uses unweighted data as the weighting variables within the dataset are intended for cross-sectional rather than longitudinal analysis, consistent with other longitudinal ASHE outputs within DWP. This may bias estimates as data are not necessarily representative of the employee population (calibrated to the Labour Force Survey) or adjusted for differences in response rates across firms.

5. Progression is defined by a move up the earnings distribution by 20 or more percentiles between the start and end year of each estimate. Not set Not set Not set Not set
6. "Did not progress" is defined as not moving up the earnings distribution by 20 or more percentiles between the start and end year of each estimate.. Not set Not set Not set Not set
7. "No data available" is defined as those who were in the bottom quintile in the first year of each estimate but had no earnings recorded in the end year. Not set Not set Not set Not set
