3. UK data https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/work-pay-and-benefits/unemployment-and-economic-inactivity/unemployment/latest . There is too small a sample size to produce a 16-64 Scotland level unemployment figure for 16-24. However, the employment rate for minority ethnic groups age 16-24 in Scotland is 35.8%. compared to 58.4% for aged 16-64, meaning it is highly likely Scotland mimics the pattern at UK level.
