Written Question
Apprentices: Females
Monday 30th October 2017

Asked by: Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 12 October 2017 to Question 107455, how many women born between (a) 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1953, (b) 6 April 1953 and 5 December 1953 and (c) 6 December 1953 and 5 April 1960 have (i) started and (ii) completed an apprenticeship in each of the last seven years.

Answered by Anne Milton

The tables attached show the number of apprenticeship starts and achievements by women in each of the last six academic years.

It should be noted that older people are less inclined to undertake an apprenticeship compared to those of a younger age, as shown in the table below comparing the 45-59 age group to the 60+ age group. Since 2013/14 the number of apprenticeship starts has been increasing year on year for both of these age groups.

Data on apprenticeship starts and achievements by age band, and by gender are available in the apprenticeship demographic tools:
