###Background This analysis was conducted as part of a university module to compare age with socio-economic group in the UK and investigates unemployment levels with deprivation in England.

###Content The dataset includes the English Indices of Deprivation 2015 and the 2011 UK census data.

The English indices of deprivation measures relative deprivation in small areas in England called lower-layer super output areas. The index of multiple deprivation is the most widely used of these indices. More information can be found on the government website here. The Index of Multiple Deprivation ranks every small area in England from 1 (most deprived area) to 32,844 (least deprived area) and ranks them according to the following measures:

Income Deprivation Employment Deprivation Education, Skills and Training Deprivation Health Deprivation and Disability Crime Barriers to Housing and Services Living Environment Deprivation By including the 2011 UK census data and a lookup table (for combining the datasets) it is possible to see how age and gender corresponds to areas of deprivation.
