Economy Input output analytical tables: methods and application to UK National Accounts This article presents an overview of the theory and methods behind the construction of the additional 2013 Input Output Analytical Tables, (IOATs), with some illustrative examples. People, population and community The impact of using the new definition of alcohol-specific deaths The new definition of alcohol-specific deaths produces an average yearly death count in the UK that is 18.7% lower than the previous definition for males and 24.6% lower for females; this is explained by the new definition excluding deaths that are partially attributable to alcohol. Among males and females, when looking at age-standardised rates of death, the new definition shows a similar pattern of year-to-year rises and falls, and longer-term changes and trends, to those produced by the previous definition; this is true for the UK and each of its constituent countries. To mark the 60th birthday of The Today Programme on BBC Radio 4, we look at what's changed in the UK since 1957. We're living much longer; attitudes to sex and marriage have become more relaxed; house prices have risen and the demographics of the country have changed. Test your knowledge of changes in house prices, divorce, how long we live for, and how many of us were born abroad in our latest article. You may be surprised! Listen to our statistician Liz McLaren and Director of Data Collection Pete Benton on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme as they discuss what's changed in society in 60 years (2:53:20). |
