2011 skills for life survey small area estimation datasets

These data are modelled estimates of literacy , numeracy and ICT skills in lower-level geographies in England. Small Area Estimation modelling methods have been applied to the 2011 Skills for Life survey data in order to generate local level area estimates of: the number and proportion of adults (aged 16-64 years old) in England living in households with defined skill levels in: literacy, numeracy and ICT, including emailing, word processing, spreadsheet use and a multiple-choice assessment of ICT awareness. The number and proportion of adults in households who do not speak English as a first language are also included. Two sets of Small Area Estimates are provided for seven geographies: Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs), Standard Table Wards, 2005 Statistical Wards, 2011 Council Wards, 2011 Parliamentary Constituencies, Local Authorities, and Local Enterprise Partnership areas. Regional estimates have also been provided, however, unlike the other geographies, these estimates are based on direct survey.
