found that in the second quarter of 2008, around 1.8 million children (15 per cent) were living in a workless household where no one of working age was in work. This proportion has decreased over the last decade along with the general reduction in levels and rates of worklessness. The labour market report also focuses on the fact that young people have historically experienced the highest rates of unemployment compared with other age groups. From January to March 2009 unemployment rates in the UK for those aged 16 and 17 stood at 29.3 per cent, accounting for 9 per cent of unemployed people aged 16 and over. Those aged 18 to 24 and unemployed accounted for 30.5 per cent of all unemployed peopled aged 16 and over, with unemployment rates for young men at 18.6 per cent being higher than young women at 13.3 per cent. The finance report focuses on the average amount of pocket money given to children aged five to 18 in the UK which amounts to 4.80 per child. The amount of pocket money given to children does not, however, mirror the amount of income each household receives. The highest average amount of pocket money per household (14.90 per week) was given to children living in the household group with the lowest income level, while the second highest amount of pocket money per household (11.85 per week) was given to children in the group with the highest level of income.

A second article explores the question of whether the rise in UK births since 2001 has been driven by births to women born outside the UK. The study finds that two main factors have driven recent increases in the number of births in the UK:
increasing fertility rates among UKborn women, and the increasing number of non-UK born women (who have higher fertility on average) in the population
estimating the cohabiting population sub-national analysis of the ageing population, and the 2011 Census taking shape part II: methodological and technological developments
