 A person's likelihood of smoking increased in line with the level of deprivation in their neighbourhood in 2016, our new analysis reveals. Someone was also more likely to smoke if they reported having no qualifications, receiving benefits, doing a routine or manual job or living in rented housing. Women's exercise leggings and action cameras such as GoPros have been added to the basket of goods and services used to calculate inflation. In addition, new food items added to the 2018 list include raspberries, quiche and prepared mashed potato, some 30 years after dried mashed potato left. However, pork pies and edam cheese are out. While pork pies are being removed as an individual item, they will still be covered by the wider product of a "meat-based snack", which includes pork pies as well as, for example, sausage rolls, mini Cornish pasties and scotch eggs. This is to ensure that we can collect prices for this kind of snack in shops where pork pies themselves are not available. The basket of goods helps measure the changing cost of products and services over time, updated annually to reflect consumer behaviour and showing the changing tastes and habits of the UK. Find out more. With more and more soft play areas opening across the UK, adult-supervised soft play sessions have been introduced to the basket for the first time. Children's sit and ride toys replace the child's tricycle, whose coverage has been falling reflecting its availability in shops. New items entering the basket of goods and services this year include women's exercise leggings and action cameras like GoPros.  New food items added to the 2018 basket include raspberries and quiche, while pork pies and edam cheese are out.  Digital media players (Chromecast, Apple TV) replace digital TV recorders and receivers such as Freeview boxes, and the rise of the smartphone has meant that digital camcorders - once a popular way of capturing birthdays and special events in the 90s/early 00s - have been taken out of the basket. See more of the changes to 2018 list. From corsets to corned beef, fish fingers to fridges, explore how the ONS basket of goods has changed over time through our interactive.  People, population and community Today's data shows there were 2,651 infant deaths (deaths under 1 year) that occurred in England and Wales in 2016, compared with 2,578 in 2015 and 6,313 in 1986.
In 2016, the infant mortality rate (based on death occurrences) increased to 3.8 deaths per 1,000 live births, compared with 3.7 in 2015.
Cancers remain the most common cause of death for children age 1 to 15 years, accounting for 20.6% of deaths in 2016. Vasita Patel, ONS Senior Research Officer for the Vital Statistics Outputs Branch said:
"In 2016, there were small increases in both the infant (3.8 deaths per 1,000 live births) and neonatal (2.7 deaths per 1,000 live births) mortality rates in England and Wales from 2015 but these rates remain low in historical terms (based on death occurrences). These increases can be attributed to many risk factors, such as the mother's country of birth, mother's age at birth of child, birthweight and the parents' socioeconomic status." |
