Cumulative change since 2014 in total number of economically inactive working-age Londoners (left panel) and in number of working-age Londoners inactive due to long-term sickness (right panel), by age group.

For each age group, the left-hand side graph represents the difference in the total number of economically inactive people at a given date and the number in 2014. The right-hand-side graph does the same for people economically inactive due to long-term sickness. The arrow points to the value of the cumulative change in the latest data point (2023/24). Note that the right-hand side can be bigger than the left-hand side, for a given age group: this would be because reasons for inactivity other than long-term sickness would have decreased and brought the overall number of economically inactive people down.
