Labour market analysis
We produce analysis of the latest labour market statistics, setting out what they mean for the world of work with an emphasis on people who face disadvantage.
Learning and work data analysis
Our business is to look at what works and what doesn’t in learning, skills and employment, and we use statistical analysis as part of this.
This involves producing our own data such as the Adult participation in learning survey, analysis of official releases such as monthly labour and employment statistics, and combining government statistics with our original findings as we did in the Youth Opportunity Index.
