When analyzing the inactivity rates, the main differences remain according to gender, with greater similarity between white and non-white individuals within each sex. The fall in unemployment in the period seems to have helped to maintain stable rates of inactivity for the working age population, and the greatest fluctuations must have occurred precisely in the transition between the occupations with different types of qualification. This result shows the importance of analyzing in more detail how both the transition of groups between different occupations occurs, as well as the determinants of entry into one of these situations.
