Economic inactivity by sex: reasons - Statistical Bulletin dataset
Product
LFS data on reasons for economic inactivity by sex. One of a series of tables forming the Labour Market Statistics First Release Historical Supplement, available through the labour market pages of the NS website.
This table has been revised so that it now covers 'all reasons' for inactivity instead of just showing reasons for 'wants a job'. The result of this change is that if you sum all the reasons it will match the total for everyone of working age (men aged 16-64 and women aged 16-59) who are inactive.
