Economy This article presents the first preliminary estimates from the work completed to date on developing the Household Costs Indices; experimental indices are presented for UK household groups over the period January 2005 to June 2017, an all-households index is provided for reference.
The household group indices are compared with measures of nominal disposable income growth to demonstrate how these groups are faring in the economy between financial years ending 2006 and financial year ending 2016.
Retired households have experienced stronger rises in their prices and costs than non-retired households over the periods explored, with price rises for retired households averaging 2.6% per year, compared with 2.3% for non-retired households; however, the disposable income received by retired households has grown considerably more than the disposable income received by non-retired households.
Low-income households observe stronger rises in their prices and costs than high-income households, with poorer households (represented by the second income decile) seeing average annual price rises of 2.6%, while richer households (represented by the ninth income decile) saw annual average price rises of 2.2%; however, the divergence in growth is met by a similar divergence in growth in household disposable income for these two groups.
Households without children have also experienced stronger rises in their prices and costs than households with children, but again, this growth is matched by similar growth in household disposable income for each group. People, population and community Weekly death figures provide provisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the latest weeks for which data are available. Young people spend more than a third of their overall leisure time – around 14 hours per week – using a device, new analysis shows.
Men aged 25 and under use devices such as mobile phones, tablets, e-readers and laptops during their leisure time the most. Device use occupied 35% of their leisure time, whereas for women it was 29%.
Men took an average of 43 hours leisure time a week and women 38 hours in 2015. Of this, around 6 hours a week are spent socialising, whilst mass media consumption activities such as reading, listening to music or watching television, accounts for around half of all leisure time taken. |
