Unemployment: Young People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of trends in the level of youth unemployment in (a) Grantham and Bourne constituency and (b) Lincolnshire.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The information requested on trends in levels of unemployment is published and available at: https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/default.asp and the guidance for users can be found at:
https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/home/newuser.asp.
The estimated unemployment levels and rates can be found by selecting “Query data” on the NOMIS home page and selecting “Annual Population Survey/Labour Force Survey” and then “annual population survey (Dec 2004 to Dec 2025)” in the lists of data sources. The Geography will need to be set for the relevant Westminster constituency and county from the menus, and then, in the Variable menu, Category set to “Unemployment rate” from the drop-down list to access 16-24 year old unemployment.
ONS suppress results based on small samples on the Annual Population Survey. Claimant Count information by age is available from the “2024 Parliamentary Constituencies Profile” and “Local Authority Profile” menus at the same website.
