1 For series from 1999 to 2005 the methodology was based on drawing small samples of young people from the Labour Force Survey (LFS).
2 The methodology used to produce the estimates from 2006 changed to the use of administrative data, because the sample size for this age group in the LFS was very small.
Data from new sources only covers the nine English regions. See definitions section for further details.
