As part of Gatsby's interest in how Labour Market Information (LMI) can inform young people's career guidance decisions, we commissioned the Institute of Employment Research at the University of Warwick to undertake a mapping exercise of the LMI system. Desk-based research, supplemented by expert interviews, was used to provide a comprehensive overview of the LMI system in England, describing the different components of the system and developing a matrix which assesses and categorises 119 LMI sources.
