Amharc ar fhreagraThe exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The CSO Labour Force Survey (LFS), which replaced the Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) in Q3 2017, is the official source of data for the jobless household indicator in the State.
The most recent LFS figures available are for Q3 2017.
The indicator "People aged 18 - 59 years living in jobless households" is calculated as the share of persons aged 18 - 59 who are living in households where no one is in employment. Students aged 18 - 24 who live in households composed solely of students (persons who have indicated that their Principal Economic Status is Student) of the same age class are not included. The indicator "People aged 0 - 17 years living in jobless households" is calculated as the share of persons aged 0 - 17 who are living in households where no one is in employment.
Estimates for the jobless household indicator are produced by NUTS3 regions. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable county level estimates from the LFS.
The following table shows the proportion of all persons aged 0-59 living in jobless households classified by sex, age group and NUTS3 region in Q3 2017~:
