Internet users in the UK: 2017, latest National Statistical blogpost The wealth of regions – measuring the UK’s tax and spending imbalance, and our Data Science Campus is hiring!

View in browser 12 June 2017 The wealth of regions – measuring the UK's tax and spending imbalance: Experimental statistics from ONS suggest that in 2016 only three UK regions generated more in taxes than they receive in public funding. The data have caused a stir in the media with headlines proclaiming that London and its surrounding regions are effectively 'subsiding' the rest.  Explore our latest blogpost where Jonathan Athow, Deputy National Statistician, explains how the figures were calculated and how ONS is looking to develop and improve them.  Internet users in the UK: 2017 In 2017, virtually all adults aged 16 to 24 and 25 to 34 years (99%) were recent internet users. 90% of men and 88% of women were recent internet users, up from 89% and 86% in 2016.  Recent internet use among women aged 75 and over had almost trebled from 2011. 9% of adults in the UK had never used the internet in 2017. 22% of disabled adults had never used the internet in 2017, down from 25% in 2016.
