Summary

The Annual Population Survey is a survey of households in the UK providing information on key social and socioeconomic variables between the 10-yearly censuses.

Description

The Annual Population Survey (APS) is a combined survey of households in the UK. Its purpose is to provide information on key social and socioeconomic variables between the 10-yearly censuses, with particular emphasis on providing information relating to sub-regional (local authority) areas. The topics covered include employment and unemployment, as well as housing, ethnicity, religion, health and education. The Labour Force Survey (and the APS) are the sources recommended for employment-related statistics, such as estimates of the number of people in employment or unemployed. They are also a unique source of comprehensive, coherent information about economic inactivity, as it separates information about people who want a job and those who do not.
