People aged 16 to 64 who hold no formal qualification, as a percentage of all people aged 16 to 64, under the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) questions of the Annual Population Survey of the Office for National Statistics, January to December. United Kingdom regions and local authorities.
A survey estimate with wide margins of error for local authorities, so year to year moves of a few points are often noise. The RQF series starts in 2022 and is not comparable with the older NVQ series.
