<p>“Depression, bad nerves or anxiety” is a pre-specified single category in the Labour Force Survey questionnaire. We are therefore unable to separate out depression, bad nerves and anxiety from each other.</p><p> </p><p>As such, we have provided a breakdown of working-age people (16-64) self-reporting depression, bad nerves or anxiety as a main or secondary health condition by age and sex for those (A) in work and (B) economically inactive due to long-term sickness, for the most recent quarter of data available. Note this is unpublished data.</p><p> </p><p>Prevalence of depression, bad nerves or anxiety by age and sex, for those in work and those who are economically inactive due to long-term sickness, April-June 2023 (unpublished)</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="3"><p>In work</p></td><td colspan="3"><p>Economically inactive due to long-term sickness</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>Male</p></td><td><p>Female</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>2,682,183</p></td><td><p>1,026,235</p></td><td><p>1,655,948</p></td><td><p>1,360,720</p></td><td><p>566,368</p></td><td><p>794,352</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>16 to 24</p></td><td><p>317,861</p></td><td><p>108,056</p></td><td><p>209,805</p></td><td><p>106,622</p></td><td><p>48,054</p></td><td><p>58,568</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>25 to 34</p></td><td><p>801,357</p></td><td><p>306,992</p></td><td><p>494,365</p></td><td><p>206,336</p></td><td><p>94,522</p></td><td><p>111,814</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>35 to 49</p></td><td><p>895,129</p></td><td><p>333,752</p></td><td><p>561,377</p></td><td><p>328,877</p></td><td><p>133,968</p></td><td><p>194,909</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>50 to 64</p></td><td><p>667,836</p></td><td><p>277,435</p></td><td><p>390,401</p></td><td><p>718,885</p></td><td><p>289,824</p></td><td><p>429,061</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Source: Labour Force Survey (LFS) quarterly person data</p><p>Note this is unpublished data from our own analysis of ONS Labour Force Survey data and that the ONS release compared Jan-Mar 2019 to Jan-Mar 2023 data.</p> |
