Data and file structure

Data items include:

• Demographics, such as age, sex and country of birth
• Geography
• Labour force characteristics
• Education in current year
• Highest educational attainment
• Education in previous year
• Time left study
• Apprenticeships/traineeships in current year
• Unmet demand for apprenticeships/traineeships
• List of population data items

'Population data items' have been derived to enable easy filtering for particular population groups. For example, 'P07. Persons aged 15-24 years' can be used to filter this specific population in tables rather than using the actual age group data item.
