London Labour Market Flows

This analysis uses longitudinal data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) to show the movement, or flow, between employment, unemployment and inactivity from one quarter to the next.

These flows show the underlying movements which sit behind published headline labour market rates which, in contrast, take a snapshot of the Labour Market at a point in time.

Flows are also used to calculate the probability that an individual will change labour market status over the quarter.
