Footnotes
- The Labour Market Status (employed, unemployed, Inactive) of the 16-18 population and proportions in wider training (e.g. Employer funded training not captured by DfE administrative data) are estimated from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The LFS has been reweighted to account for population revisions back to 2019 meaning comparisons prior to this point should be viewed with some caution. In addition, an increasing number of missing responses related to education status at age 16 have led DfE to revise the methodology for reapportioning these cases from 2019 which may also lead to a discontinuity. See accompanying methodology document for further information.
