Age

The workforce has a higher proportion of young people aged 16 -24 (25%) than the workforce across the UK (14%).  These will, however, be concentrated at 18 years and over as regulations and licensing requirements discourage the employment of those aged under 18 years.  However, this can vary by sub-sector:

  • the sport, fitness and outdoors sub-sectors have a much younger profile to that of the other sectors and conversely,
  • playwork and the caravan industry are relatively older.
