8 September 2010
The Office for National Statistics has produced new statistics on workless households.
It finds that between April and June 2010, 841,000 UK households were workless because all members of the household were sick, injured or disabled, up 68,000 on a year earlier.
Just over half of the people in these households are aged 50 to 64, with a further third aged 35 to 49. A further 612,000 workless households had some but not all members sick, injured or disabled, making a total of 1.5 million households containing at least one person aged 16 to 64 where these health-related reasons are at least partly the cause of worklessness.
