Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV02

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by single year of age. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Age estimates provide key demographic information needed by all users of census data. Single year of age data can be used to build detailed profiles and trends that play an important part for local authorities and other public authorities in influencing the resourcing and provision of services for particular groups of residents, for example children and older people.

Similar single year of age estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV04.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by sex. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify, at their non term-time address, schoolchildren and full-time students aged 4 and over in England and Wales, by sex. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

In most census results students are counted at their term-time address to help to provide an accurate measure of the usually resident population in that area. A small number of census results identify students separately at their non term-time address to provide basic information for that area out of term-time.

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV05.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by their use of a second address, and whether that second address is inside or outside the UK. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

A second address is an address at which a person stays for more than 30 days per year that is not their place of usual residence.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales who are aged 16 and over and living in households by their living arrangements. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Estimates of living arrangements help to identify and understand the changing patterns of marriage, cohabitation and partnerships within households and provide evidence of the different experiences for people associated with different arrangements that can help to inform the social inclusion agenda.

Living arrangements differ from marital and civil partnership status because cohabiting takes priority over other categories. For example, if a person is divorced and cohabiting, then in results for living arrangements they are classified as cohabiting.

References to civil partnerships are not present in estimates from the 2001 Census which was conducted before the introduction of same-sex civil partnerships in December 2005. In addition, unlike the 2001 Census, in 2011 no account was taken of those in a second or subsequent marriage, but, the 2001 living arrangements estimates in UV82 can be made broadly similar by collapsing the appropriate categories.

It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status. The data will be used by local and regional authorities, central government departments, other public sector bodies, academics and research institutions to understand, and develop policies for local labour markets, employment and unemployment.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify full-time students aged 16 and 74 in England and Wales by economic activity. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV29

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in employment the week before the census in England and Wales by the number of hours worked. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

In 2001, the number of hours worked was a write-in response and the estimates were classified into the categories provided in table UV41. The classification used for 2011 estimates matches the tick box options on the questionnaire. These categories have been collapsed from those in 2001 estimates by grouping the first 3 part-time categories used in 2001 and changing the ranges for full-time work by combining the remaining categories.

Information on hours worked is used to identify working patterns in local areas and target resources accordingly. It is used to gain an understanding, at a local level, of likely travel patterns and times, which can inform the requirements on public transport.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in employment the week before the census in England and Wales by industry. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

This classification uses a variable that provides a more detailed breakdown of manufacturing professions than the normal industry variable. Although similar estimates were provided in 2001 in table UV34, there has been a number of changes to the grouping. For example "Fishing" is now combined with "Agriculture and forestry" where in 2001 it was a single category.

This information is used to assign a code to the industry an individual works in using the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities (UKSIC). This enhances the quality of occupation coding and is required at a local level to understand economic performance and analyse local labour markets. It also provides information for policy development and monitoring land use, transport and housing needs.

The statistics show trends in employment by industry and help planners to develop or revise employment land policies. For instance, there might be an increased demand for land for retail and office usage but decreasing demand for traditional manufacturing industries. In combination with information about occupation, this information will be particularly useful for economic development, regeneration and monitoring labour market trends.

Information supplied by these questions is used as a base for forecasts of employment (by sector, occupation and industry) and for transport planning. It is also used to identify any associations between the characteristics of individuals and industry, for example to highlight a concentration of groups of people in industries associated with low-paid employment.|

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in employment the week before the census in England and Wales by occupation (minor group). The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

"Minor group" refers to the level of categories within the hierarchy of occupations. The information is at a level lower than the estimates from the 2001 Census provided in table UV30, which were based on Standard Occupational Classification 2000 (SOC 2000). 2011 Census results are coded to the newer Standard Occupational Classification 2010 (SOC2010) introduced in June 2010. More information about SOC2010 can be found here: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/classifications/current-standard-classifications/soc2010/index.html

These statistics provide central government with an understanding of the workforce and the type of skills available and is particularly useful for local economic development, monitoring labour market trends and contributing to schemes created to increase the number of skilled jobs for local residents. The data influence both central and local government resource allocation, Public Service Agreement (PSA) targets for regional competitiveness, and can inform equality and diversity strategies.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in England and Wales by National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC). The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) provides an indication of socio-economic position based on occupation and is coded to Standard Occupational Classification. To assign a person (aged 16 to 74) to an NS-SeC category, their occupation title is combined with information about their employment status, whether they are employed or self-employed and whether or not they supervise other employees. Full-time students are recorded in the 'full-time students' category regardless of whether they are economically active or not.

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV31 but differences exist in the way the estimates are derived because of changes in the occupation classification used between censuses, and because the 2001 derivation used information about the number of employees at a personal workplace. This question was not asked in the 2011 census.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged under 65 in households in England and Wales by NS-Sec of the Household Reference Person. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) provides an indication of socio-economic position based on occupation. Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV33, however there may be some differences as these estimates were based on Standard Occupational Classification SOC2000. The rebased version of NS-SeC used in census results uses occupation coded to the SOC version released in June 2010 (SOC2010).

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents in households in England and Wales where the Household Reference Person is aged under 65, by the NS-SeC of the Household Reference Person. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) provides an indication of socio-economic position based on occupation. Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV85 however the population base was for those under pensionable age, which at the time was 65 for males and 60 for women. There may also be some differences as these estimates were based on Standard Occupational Classification SOC2000. The rebased version of NS-SeC used in census results uses occupation coded to the SOC version released in June 2010 (SOC2010).

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify Household Reference Persons aged 16 to 64 in England and Wales by approximated social grade. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Social grade is the socio-economic classification used by the Market Research and Marketing Industries, most often in the analysis of spending habits and consumer attitudes. Although it is not possible to allocate Social Grade precisely from information collected by the 2011 Census, the Market Research Society has developed a method for using census information to provide a good approximation of social grade.

Estimates of social grade from the 2001 Census were available in table UV50, however the estimates were not constrained to Household Reference Persons only and there was no upper age limit.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in England and Wales by year last worked. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Information on economic activity status is used by central and local government, researchers and other organisations to understand local labour markets and to develop and monitor policies at local and regional levels. It is used to identify deprived areas, to allocate community and economic development funding, and for housing and transport planning purposes. The statistics produced show local labour markets and social patterns linked to employment and unemployment. When used with information on sex, age, ethnicity, health and disability, the statistics identify areas where a barrier to employment exists and allows the targeting of resources and policies to encourage people to work.

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in England and Wales by their method of travel to work. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

Travel to work estimates from the 2001 Census, for example in UV39, are not compatible with this estimates in this dataset because of the differences in the way that people who indicated that they work from home but also have a method of travel to work have been handled. Estimates that are compatible with 2001 are available in dataset CT0015.

Information on travel to work informs both national and local transport services and policies. It provides a basis for transport planning , for example, whether new bus routes or changes to existing bus routes are needed.

There is no description for this dataset.
