Working And Workless Households In The UK - April To June 2024

30th August 2024

Labour Force Survey (LFS) household estimates have been weighted to population estimates published in November 2023 for periods from October to December 2023 onwards; a discontinuity has been introduced at this point, so comparisons before this point are not possible.

Increased volatility of the LFS estimates, resulting from smaller achieved sample sizes, means that estimates of quarterly change should be treated with additional caution.

Of the estimated 21.4 million households (where at least one member is aged 16 to 64 years) in the UK, 59.0% had all household members aged 16 years and over in employment during April to June 2024.

There were an estimated 27.5% of households with a mix of at least one working and one workless adult.

There were an estimated 13.5% of households where no member of the household was in employment.
