Under 25 year olds are more than three times more likely than other age groups to be paid below the London Living Wage.

Almost half of under 25s earned less than the London Living Wage between 2008 and 2010.

From 25 to 55+, the risk of low pay does not decline with age.

In London, a lower proportion of under 45s claim a disability-related benefit than in the rest of England.

• For older age groups, the proportion in London who receive a disability benefit is higher in London than elsewhere.

• Because there are more young people overall in London, in total a lower proportion of people in the capital claim a disability-related benefit than the rest of England.

• The proportion of 16-year-olds getting fewer than five A*-C GCSEs has decreased in all London boroughs since 2007.

The proportion of 16 to 19 year-olds not in education, employment or training (NEET) has risen sharply in Outer London in the last decade.

Inner London NEET rates have fallen slightly, from 14% to 12%.

Rising rates elsewhere mean Inner London is now little different from the majority of English regions.

Among pupils not entitled to free school meals, there are only small differences in the proportion not getting five GCSEs by ethnicity.

By contrast, among pupils eligible for free school meals, the proportion who are not White British not getting five GCSEs is only half the proportion for White British pupils.

This pattern is by no means unique to London - White British pupils on free schoool meals right across England are more likely to lack 5 GCSEs than other pupils are.

The proportion of 16-year-olds in Inner London achieving fewer than five GCSEs has come down from 15% to 8% over the ten years to 2009 - the biggest fall of any English region.

Outer London now has a lower proportion of pupils falling short of this standard than any other region in England.
