Aged 25-49, unemployment
Make use of census evidence
• Language – most highly prioritised by refugees for integration– English language need is not only for recent
immigrants
• The census allows tailoring services and solutions, enabling local provision to respond to local needs– Diversity in cities and outside cities– From cradle to grave
BUT ...these valuable small area data are under threat...
• Evidence for briefings like these cannot be produced without data for small areas.
• The ONS Beyond 2011 programme will consult from September 2013 on alternatives to the census.
• If a case is not made to retain production of small area statistics, the alternatives to the census will not include them.
Access to Census analysis• ONS ‘What the Census tells us’

The best access route to Census data depends on the user

What I’d like
• To say thank you to ONS, NRS, NISRA• Ethnic group in 18 categories, always• Local authorities, as high priority• Stop saying migration when you mean
immigration• API (summer has started)• Cell numbers in each table• Even more stress on possible comparisons
with 2001
