| 4. Young people not in full time education who are not in employment |
|---|
| Data source |
| Labour Force Survey |
| Time period and availability |
| 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. |
| What does this tell us? |
| 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. |
| How will an improvement be shown? |
| 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. |
| 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). |

| Table 4.1: Proportion of young people not in full time education who are workless by disability, UK, Quarter 1 of each year (January -March)1,2,9 |
| Disability status |
| Those with a disability |
| Those without a disability |
| All5 |
| The indicator is lower for those without a disability by a statistically significant amount. |
| The central estimates shown in the table suggest that the indicator has decreased since 2011 for both the DDA disabled and not DDA disabled groups, however the indicator for the DDA disbaled group has increased since 2012. |
| None of these changes were statistically significant. |
| Table 4.2: Proportion of young people not in full time education who are workless by ethnicity, UK, quarterly average to Quarter 1 of each year1,3,9 |
| Ethnic group of individual |
| White |
| Mixed / Multiple ethnic groups |
| Indian |
| Pakistani/Bangladeshi |
| Chinese or other ethnic group |
| Black/African/Caribbean/Black British |
| All6 |
| The indicator is lower for the 'White' group than any other group, except the 'Indian' group, by a statistically significant margin. The next lowest values of the indicator are for the 'Mixed' and 'Indian' groups. |
| These indicators are lower than the 'Pakistani/Bangladeshi', 'Chinese and other ethnic group' and the 'Black/African/Caribbean/Black British' groups by a statistically significant amount. |
| The central estimates shown in the table suggest that the indicator has decreased since 2011 for all ethnic groups except the 'Indian' and 'Chinese or other' groups. However, only the fall for the 'White' group was statistically significant. |
| 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. |
| Table 4.3: Proportion of young people not in full time education who are workless by gender, UK, Quarter 1 of each year (January - March)4,9 |
| Gender |
| Male |
| Female |
| All |
| The indicator for male young people not in full time education or work is lower than the female group and the differences between the two groups are statistically significant. |
| The female indicator has increased marginally since last year and 2011. The male indicator has fallen since last year and 2011. |
| Table 4.4: Proportion of young people not in full time education who are workless by religion, UK, quarterly average to Quarter 1 of each year1,3,9 |
| Religion |
| No religion |
| Christian |
| Buddhist |
| Hindu |
| Jewish |
| Muslim |
| Sikh |
| Any other religion |
| All7 |
| Estimates broken down by religion are based on small sample sizes and should be treated with caution. The indicator was higher for the 'Muslim' group than any other group by a statistically significant margin. |
| The 'Christian' group is lower than any other group, but only lower than the 'Muslim' and 'No religion' groups by a statistically significant amount. |
| The central estimates shown in the table suggest that the indicator has decreased since last year for all religious groups except the 'Jewish' and 'Sikh' groups. However, only the change for the 'No religion' group was statistically significant. |
| Estimates by religion 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. |

| 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. |
