answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2015 answer text <p>Table 1 below shows estimates of the proportion of people aged 18 to 24 not in education, employment or training in regions for quarter 1, 2012 to 2015. This is based on the ONS Labour Force Survey.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Trends should be assessed by comparing the current time period with the same time period in the previous year(s), to account for seasonal effects. Therefore in Table 1, we have shown the latest quarter (January-March 2015) with January-March figures for 2012, 2013 and 2014. Estimates are not available at parliamentary constituency level.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Please note that these estimates are subject to large sampling variability and should therefore be treated with caution and viewed in conjunction with their Confidence Intervals (CIs), which indicate how accurate an estimate is. For example, a CI of +/-5.5 percentage points means that the sampling variability ranges from 5.5 percentage points above the estimate and 5.5 percentage points below the estimate. Confidence Intervals have also been provided in Table 1.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1: Proportion of 18 to 24 year olds not in education, employment or training
