The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is set to publish its annual 'Workless households for regions across the UK: 2025' release today, 29 July 2026. This comprehensive dataset will offer insights into the economic activity status of households, adults, and children across the UK.
The release includes numbers and percentages of working, mixed, and workless households for local authorities and ITL2 and ITL3 areas. It will also detail the economic activity status of people and children within these households, including those in non-student households.
Additionally, the data will feature rankings of workless, working, and mixed households for upper-tier local authorities in Great Britain. Reasons given by people in workless households for not working, categorised by UK country and English region, will also be provided.
