A tracer breakthrough curve (BTC) for each sampling station is the ultimate goal of every quantitative hydrologic tracing study, and dataset size can critically affect the BTC. Groundwater-tracing data obtained using in situ automatic sampling or detection devices may result in very high-density data sets. Data-dense tracer BTCs obtained using in situ devices and stored in dataloggers can result in visually cluttered overlapping data points. The relatively large amounts of data detected by high-frequency settings available on in situ devices and stored in dataloggers ensure that important tracer BTC features, such as data peaks, are not missed. Alternatively, such dense datasets can also be difficult to interpret. Even more difficult, is the application of such dense data sets in solute-transport models that may not be able to adequately reproduce tracer BTC shapes due to the overwhelming mass of data. One solution to the difficulties associated with analyzing, interpreting, and modeling dense data sets is the selective removal of blocks of the data from the total dataset. Although it is possible to arrange to skip blocks of tracer BTC data in a periodic sense (data decimation) so as to lessen the size and density of the dataset, skipping or deleting blocks of data also may result in missing the important features that the high-frequency detection setting efforts were intended to detect. Rather than removing, reducing, or reformulating data overlap, signal filtering and smoothing may be utilized but smoothing errors (e.g., averaging errors, outliers, and potential time shifts) need to be considered. Appropriate probability distributions to tracer BTCs may be used to describe typical tracer BTC shapes, which usually include long tails. Recognizing appropriate probability distributions applicable to tracer BTCs can help in understanding some aspects of the tracer migration.

Breakdowns of the prevalence of homeworking by industry, occupation, region, age, sex and ethnicity.

Table showing numbers of people who work in an area by public/private sector and whether full-time or part-time. Data from Business Register Employment Survey (BRES, ONS)

Employment is defined as employees plus working proprietors

Figures may not add up due to rounding. Figures are rounded to the nearest thousand and to one decimal place. For example 2.4 is equal to 2,400 employment, and represents a figure in the range 2,350 - 2,449.

Employees - An employee is anyone aged 16 years or over that an organisation directly pays from its payroll(s), in return for carrying out a full-time or part-time job or being on a training scheme. It excludes voluntary workers, self-employed and working owners who are not paid via PAYE

Working Proprietors are sole traders, sole proprietors, partners and directors. This does not apply to registered charities

Employment = employees + working proprietors

Part time - those working 30 hours or less per week

Full time - those working more than 30 hours per week

The private sector is defined as: Company, Sole Proprietor, Partnership and Non Profit Body or Mutual Association. Public sector employees are those in: Public corporations/ Nationalised Bodies, Central Government and Local Authority.

This release presents insight into the provision of unpaid care in England and Wales in 2021. Key findings are presented at country, regional and local authority level and analysis on deprivation.

The data used to create these tables have been adjusted to avoid the release of confidential data. Country, region and local authority are based on 2021 boundaries. Counts have been rounded to the nearest 5, and these rounded counts were used to calculate age-standardised and age-specific percentages; this is for consistency with statistical disclosure methods.

All figures are individually rounded; totals may not sum exactly because of this rounding. Data represents usual residents aged 5 years and over.

Age-specific percentage

Age-specific percentages are used to allow comparisons between specified age groups.

Details can be found here

Age-standardised percentage

Age-standardised percentages (ASPs) allow for comparison between populations over time and across geographies, as they account for differences in the population size and age structure. The 2013 European Standard Population is used to standardise proportions.

The 2013 European Standard Population can be found here

_Confidence interval _

The lower and upper 95% confidence limits form a confidence interval (CI), which is a measure of the statistical precision of an estimate and shows the range of uncertainty around the figure. As a general rule, if the CI around one figure overlaps with the interval around another, we cannot say with certainty that there is more than a chance difference between the two figures.

Index of multiple deprivation

National deciles and quintiles of area deprivation are created through ranking small geographical populations known as Lower layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) based on their deprivation score from most to least deprived and grouping them into 10 or 5 divisions based on the subsequent ranking. We have used the 2019 IMD and WIMD because this is the most up to date version at the time of publishing.

Unpaid carer

In 2021: A person is a provider of unpaid care if they look after or give help or support to anyone because of long-term physical or mental health conditions or illnesses, or problems related to old age.

In 2011 and 2001: A person is a provider of unpaid care if they look after, give help or support to family members, friends, neighbours or others because of long-term physical or mental ill-health/disability, or problems related to old age.

In 2001, 2011 and 2021, this does not include any activities as part of paid employment. No distinction is made about whether any care that a person provides is within their own household or outside the household. A person can only be classified as an unpaid carer if they are aged 5 years or over.

Usual resident

For Census 2021, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on Census Day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months.

Gross earnings per head: by place of residence from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), ONS.

This data set provides information about earnings of employees who are living in an area, who are on adult rates and whose pay for the survey pay-period was not affected by absence.
ASHE is based on a sample of employee jobs taken from HM Revenue & Customs PAYE records (177,000 returns in 2009). Information on earnings and hours is obtained in confidence from employers. ASHE does not cover the self-employed nor does it cover employees not paid during the reference period.

The earnings information presented relates to gross pay before tax, National Insurance or other deductions, and excludes payments in kind.

The confidence figure is the coefficient of variation (CV) of that estimate. The CV is the ratio of the standard error of an estimate to the estimate itself and is expressed as a percentage. The smaller the coefficient of variation the greater the accuracy of the estimate. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV.

Results for 2003 and earlier exclude supplementary surveys. In 2006 there were a number of methodological changes made.

The headline statistics for ASHE are based on the median rather than the mean. The median is the value below which 50 per cent of employees fall. It is ONS's preferred measure of average earnings as it is less affected by a relatively small number of very high earners and the skewed distribution of earnings. It therefore gives a better indication of typical pay than the mean.

The best figure to use for comparing earnings for men and women, is the hourly earnings excluding overtime. Including overtime can distort the picture as men work relatively more overtime than women.

Survey data from a sample frame, use caution if using for performance measurement and trend analysis
'#' These figures are suppressed as statistically unreliable.
! Estimate and confidence interval not available since the group sample size is zero or disclosive (0-2).

Counties were formerly administrative units across the whole of the UK. Due to various administrative restructurings, however, the only administrative areas still referred to as 'counties' are the Non-Metropolitan Districts of England. The English Metropolitan Districts, although no longer administrative units, are also used for statistical purposes.

The Counties area list contains 35 areas of the following constituent English geographies:

• 27 Shire counties
• 6 Metropolitan counties
• Inner London and Outer London
