I have been asked to reply.The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated 25 April 2008:"As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your parliamentary question asking what proportion of children lived in workless households in each year since 2005. [200808]""Estimates are provided from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). There are currently no annual household datasets available, so the figures are given for the April-June quarter to be consistent with those published in the 'Work and worklessness among household First Release' (see web link""http://www.statistics.gov.uk/pdfdir/work0807.pdf).""The proportion of children in UK working-age workless households was 15.8 per cent. in 2005, 15.6 per cent. in 2006 and 15.9 per cent. in 2007.""The data on the proportion of children living in UK working-age workless households from 1997 can be found at the following we link""http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_labour/worklessness/Table_3i_Calendar_Qtrs.xls""The household datasets (like the main quarterly LFS microdatasets) are weighted to the population estimates published by ONS in February and March 2003. They do not incorporate the more recent population estimates used in the headline LFS series.""A workless household is defined as a household that includes at least one person of working-age (a woman aged 16 to 59 or a man aged 16 to 64) where no-one aged 16 or over is in employment.""The LFS is a sample survey covering over 52,000 households in the United Kingdom in each three month period. As with any sample survey, estimates from the Labour Force Survey are subject to a margin of uncertainty."
