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

Information on economic activity status - as defined by the International Labour Organisation - is used by central and local government, researchers and other organisations to understand local labour markets and to develop and monitor policies at local and regional levels. It is used to identify deprived areas, to allocate community and economic development funding, and for housing and transport planning purposes.

The statistics produced show local labour markets and social patterns linked to employment and unemployment. When used with information on sex, age, ethnicity, health and disability, the statistics identify areas where a barrier to employment exists and allow the targeting of resources and policies to get people into work. This information is used to plan services and target resources, and allows public authorities to assess and tackle discrimination.
