You asked
1) I have been making use of your excellent dataset on "Unemployment by previous industrial sector" (UNEM03). I was wondering if you had similar data for those that are economically inactive, broken down by the most recent industrial sector in which these people worked?
2) I would also appreciate if you would be able to provide information on the number of economically inactive broken down by RQF level, and by whether the individuals are UK born or foreign born.
We said
Thank you for your query. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide estimates of those who are economically inactive, broken down by previous industrial sector as the survey questions are not asked to all economically inactive respondents.
Estimates of those economically inactive broken down by country of birth are published on a quarterly basis in Table A12. We do not routinely publish estimates of those economically inactive broken down by RQF level. If you wish to obtain these breakdowns, you can request an ad-hoc analysis to be produced by contacting our social surveys team at socialsurveys@ons.gov.uk. We may charge for this service, in line with our charging policy, depending on the amount of time taken to develop the analyses and undertake quality and disclosure control processes.
