| This indicator is measured by comparing the seasonally unadjusted employment rate for disabled people with the unadjusted working-age employment rate for Great Britain. This uses the ONS Headline Rate | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | |||||||||
| definition of the employment rate which is for people aged between 16 and 64. | 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 | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

| The indicator is based on data from the Labour Force Survey, which does not record whether or not respondents are pregnant or have undergone gender reassignment, | 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 | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

Respondents are asked their sexual orientation, but this data is only made available on a separate | 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 | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |

| Generally a decrease in the indicator will demonstrate that an improvement has been achieved. However, economic conditions will also need to be taken into account. For example, recent research indicates that employment | 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 | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
| prospects for disabled people are less sensitive to economic conditions than the overall population.[1] This may mean that as the economy improves and overall rates increase, the gap between the disabled and the overall | 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 | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set | Not set |
