Dear Lady Monckton,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking what assessment has been made of relative gross median earnings from full-time employment among (1) men aged 16 to 24 and (2) women aged 16 to 24 (HL6658).
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE)[1], carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. ASHE is based on a 1% sample of employee jobs taken from HM Revenue and Customs' Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records.
The median gross weekly earnings in April 20241, which is the latest available data from ASHE, for men aged 16-24 in full-time employment2 was £535, and for women aged 16-24 in full-time employment2 it was £512.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Sir Ian Diamond

This analysis includes an assessment of impacts on sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and construction. Our Impact Assessments provide initial analysis of the impacts that could follow, and we will continue to refine that as policy development progresses. Final impacts will depend on further policy decisions that are for secondary legislation. We have committed to full consultation on the implementation of this legislation, and expect this to begin this year, ensuring reforms work for employers and workers alike.
