8. What has improved, what has not?
Under-reporting
'15: 6.8% (22 MS) – '16: 6.4% (27) – '17: 5.1% (27)
0-5% increased by 2.
LU: 0.

9. What has improved, what has not?
Gap between LM and education totals
'15: 18.6% (22 MS) – '16: 7.0% (27) – '17: 9.9% (27)
Inconsistent values compared to previous year
Should be looked at after the summer, after AIR checks

10. What will be done?
Case by case analysis
Report again in October in next Evaluation Partnership

11. Questions for discussion
Inactive participants engaged in job-search disproportionate?
Changes to be expected during approval?
Effect of deletion of HH indicators? Vs. why is under-reporting large in some MS?
Gap between education and LM totals in some MS?
