The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is scheduled to publish its annual estimates today, 1 October 2026, detailing the number of children living in long-term workless households in the UK for 2025.
These estimates focus on households where all adults have not been in employment for at least 12 months. The release will include various breakdowns, such as by housing tenure, household type, and the age and ethnicity of the child.
Additional data will cover the highest qualification of adults in the household, their combined economic status, region of residence, and disability status. Estimates excluding student households will also be provided.
