| 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 2012 will also need to be taken into account. | Not set | Not set |

| Notes: | ||
| 1. 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. | ||
| 2. ASHE does not contain information on disability; gender reassignment; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sexual orientation or marriage and civil partnership. | ||
| 3. 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. | ||
| 4. Progression is defined by a move up the earnings distribution by 20 or more percentiles between 2002 (2003) and 2011 (2012). | ||
| 5. "Did not progress" is defined by not increasing along the earnings distribution by 20 or more percentiles. | ||
| 6. "No data available" is due to those who were in the bottom quintile in 2002(2003) but had no earnings recorded in 2011 (2012). | ||
| 7. 2011 estimates have been updated from those previously published. Previous figures were based on provisional ASHE data for 2011 which has subsequently been revised. | ||
| 8. 2012 estimates are based on provisional ASHE data and may be subject to revision. |
