Users, uses and context

Provides policy makers and those working with young people with data to monitor trends in participation and assess the impact of education and labour market interventions on young people.

Rounding applied

Most data are rounded to the nearest ten, apart from population estimates which are rounded to the nearest one hundred. Due to rounding the sums of rows or columns may not add to the total figure given.

Revisions information

2022 figures are provisional and will be finalised in next year's publication, due for release in July 2024.

Statistical quality

From 2004 onwards, the end of year populations have been derived from the mid-year estimates and population projections provided by the ONS then adjusted to age as at 31 August. For example age as at 31 August 2018 is used in the provisional figures for year end 2018.

The economic status proportions are estimated from the Annual Population Survey. Therefore, these estimates will be subject to variation due to sampling error and also non-sampling error and should be treated with caution.
