| The employment rate gap compares the overall employment rate in Great Britain for 16 to 64 year olds with the employment rate for 16 to 64 year olds with the characteristics described in the table. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | ||||||||||||||||||||
| A positive employment rate gap means that the overall Great Britain employment rate is higher than the employment rate for the group described. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 4. The groups described by this indicator reflect the disadvantaged groups described within the former Public Service Agreement (PSA) 8 'Maximise employment opportunity for all’. Although PSAs are no longer used, information on the employment rates for the disadvantaged groups continues to be provided for the purposes of consistency over time. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | ||||||||||||||||||||

| 8. A small number of the above figures have been slightly revised by 0.1 percentage point from the previous release due to a correction in rounding interpretation. This applies to the 2012 employment rate gap figures for females, disabled people and young people, and the 2013 employment rate gap figure for ethnic minorities This does not affect the rounded figures published in the 2013 DWP Equality Information Report. | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
