Mr. Willetts:
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many (a) men and (b) women were not in education, employment or training in each quarter of the last five years. [320064]
Kevin Brennan:
The following tables show the number and percentage of 16-24 year old men (table 2) and women (table 1) in England who were not in education, employment or training in each quarter of the last five years.
These estimates are taken from the Labour Force survey which, as with any sample survey, is subject to sampling variability. The estimates should therefore be considered along side their confidence intervals (CIs). CIs indicate how accurate an estimate is, for example, a 95 per cent. CI of+/-1.2 percentage points (pp) means that the true value is between 1.2pp above the estimate and 1.2pp below the estimate, for 95 per cent. of estimates.
