Employment and labour market In July to September 2017, there were 14 million graduates in the UK. There has been a steady increase in the number of graduates in the UK over the past decade. In July to September 2017, graduates were more likely to be employed than non-graduates. Non-graduates aged 21 to 30 have consistently higher unemployment rates than all other groups; non-graduates aged 21 to 30 have much higher inactivity rates than recent graduates. 40% of graduates worked in the public administration, education and health industries. Graduates were more likely to work in high-skilled posts than non-graduates. Annual earnings for graduates are higher than for non-graduates and reach a peak at a later age. In July to September 2017, those graduates that had an undergraduate degree in medicine or engineering were the most likely to be employed and had the highest average gross annual pay. Male graduates were more likely to have a high- or upper-middle-skill job than female graduates. People, population and community The average completed family size for women born in 1971, and reaching age 45 years in 2016, was 1.90 children per woman, the lowest level recorded. The level of childlessness among women born in 1971 (18%) was higher than for women born in 1944 (11%). The most common number of children for women born in 1971 was two children. For women born in 1971, around one in ten had four or more children this compared with around one in eight for women born in 1944. Only 6% of women born in 1996 had at least one child before their 20th birthday, matching levels seen for cohorts in the 1920s. |
