Additionally, in the earlier release students were placed in a separate category РІР‚Вeconomically active studentsРІР‚в„ў, again to maintain consistency with the 2001 Census. This report looks at those aged 16 to 64 and 16 and over which is consistent with other ONS labour market outputs. In December 2012 ONS released a statistical bulletin detailing several economic activity and inactivity characteristics of the population based on the initial set of census data which used the age band of 16 to 74 to remain consistent with the 2001 Census.

The Census includes communal establishments but the LFS is mainly based on the household population with a small number of communal establishments covered. With the LFS a wide range of questions are asked face-to-face or over the telephone. The Census is based on self-reporting and individuals had to use written guidance when responding to questions. In December 2012 ONS published a paper explaining some of the differences between the 2011 Census and the LFS. The LFS is the best source for looking at trends within the labour market as the survey asks a number of questions, using an interviewer, to establish the employment status of individuals. This report aims to supplement information that is published monthly by ONS using the LFS which gives an updated picture of the labour market. Therefore this report will give an overview of some statistics for England and Wales before going into more detail for local areas. The strength of the Census is that it includes information on the whole population and so it is possible to look at the labour market characteristics for smaller areas than using the Labour Force Survey (LFS) or the Annual Population Survey (APS), which are sample surveys. This report focuses on the labour market characteristics of the usually resident 1 population in England and Wales using information from the 2011 Census.
