Quality Statement
RAPID provides weekly views of income and hours worked from employment and self-employment over the tax year but assumptions have been made about defining in in-work family based on 26 weeks of accumulated employment in the year. The latest year statistics are badged as Provisional and are likely to be revised in the next annual Release. Statistics for earlier years may be subject to revision pending methodological improvements and changes to source data.
