Thank you for your request.
Our most robust source for the types of estimate requested, i.e. earnings profiled by region and demographics such as age, is the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE). This survey is conducted each year, with a reference date in April. The ASHE estimates from ASHE 2020 were published on 3 November 2020. This includes numerous data tables, including by region and age, but not combined. Estimates of median weekly pay by parliamentary constituency are provided in Table 9, and it is possible for users to display the estimates they need in a view that suits them from this link. Note that ASHE estimates go back to 1997.
In order to provide the analysis requested, we would need to create bespoke analysis. We offer an ad hoc analysis service, via which you may request specific analyses based on ASHE. Please note that is service is chargeable, to cover resource required to produce the estimates. If you wish to order bespoke analysis, please contact earnings@ons.gov.uk with your request.
