This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 and over in England and Wales by qualifications gained.  The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The information identifies educational achievement across the population to help government resource allocation and policy making, especially in relation to disadvantaged population groups and educationally deprived areas.

Although similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table KS13, changes to the categorisation of qualifications means that some categories in 2011 estimates are either  identified separately (for example the categories "Apprenticeship", "Professional qualifications" and "Foreign  qualifications") or are in a different category than they were in the 2001 estimates.  

For more information about qualifications please see Part 4 of the 2011 Census User Guide at http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/census-data/2011-census-user-guide/information-by-variable/index.html

This dataset provides 2011 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in England and Wales by economic activity.  The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status. The data will be used by local and regional authorities, central government departments, other public sector bodies, academics and research institutions to understand, and develop policies for local labour markets, employment and unemployment. 

Similar estimates from the 2001 Census were provided in table UV28.
