You asked
I would like to get data for unemployment by nationality, (country of birth), looking back over the past five years. Within each nationality, I’d like to see the gender (sex) breakdown also. For each nationality, also a total of those in work, not in work
Also, if there is data for full time/part time work, by nationality, then that would be great.
We said
Thank you for your query.
Estimates of unemployment by nationality and country of birth are published on a quarterly basis from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) in Table A12. This table includes estimates of those in work (employment) and those not in work (unemployment and economic inactivity) by country of birth and nationality.
We do not routinely publish estimates of labour market status by nationality and country of birth by sex, nor do we routinely publish full-time and part-time workers by nationality or country of birth.
If you wish to obtain these breakdowns, you can request an ad-hoc analysis to be produced by contacting our social surveys team. These services are subject to disclosure controls, legal frameworks, resources, and an agreement of costs in line with our Charging Policy. As the requested information is reasonably accessible via another route, even if only on payment, Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
