In addition, 1.4 million are unemployed and 17.5 million economically inactive - of whom 7.9 million are of working age. The economically inactive, including carers, stay-at-home parents and the long-term sick, have lower skills levels than those in work and will often require upskilling to meet employer demands. They are disengaged from the education system, and less than one-third want to find a job. They generally consider education something that is undertaken at school and then forgotten. Once in the education system, they require more support and flexibility around how and when they learn.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F313BBB9-4B50-409E-B48B-573B26DD62C1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
