    New figures show that trade union membership went up by 91,000 in 2019. This is the third year it's risen. Keep it rising, join a union.pic.twitter.com/KE7lNdbSp8

        The number of women in trade unions rose by 169,000 between 2018 and 2019. This is part of a trend: since the early 2000s, female employees are more likely than male employees to be trade union members. This is membership as % of employees for men and women.pic.twitter.com/RUgz1RTSIl

        The percentage of employees who are trade union members by age has some sort-of positive signs when it comes to young workers. Membership has remained stable for most young age groups since 2018, and shot up by 1.5 ppt (17 to 18.5%) among 25-29 year olds.pic.twitter.com/vtDaj5IUBn

        As we all know, the union movement undeniably needs more young workers. Here's trade union membership by age in 1995 (first year of records) compared to 2019. Already low membership among some younger age groups has almost halved.pic.twitter.com/rydBIGBA5a

        Union membership has risen in both the public sector (+74,000) and the private sector (+17,000). This is the first time in a few years, and only the third time since records began in 1995, that both have risen in the same year.pic.twitter.com/lsRGunm35U

        Any union membership data needs to be presented in the context of the long-run membership (which lags slightly behind , ending in 17/18, rather than 2019). Today's data on increasing membership is promising, but there's still a way to go to get back to previous highs.pic.twitter.com/dvYwxslMtp

        Since 1995, union membership is down by around 9% across the UK. But this isn't universal. Northern Ireland, the South West and East of England all have higher levels of trade union membership now than they did in 1995pic.twitter.com/kor1Hkacz5

        And the trend over the past few years is much more positive. Only Yorkshire and the Humber and Wales have seen a fall in number of members since 2016.pic.twitter.com/WyEh97XBbc

        What is the time scale of this years data? Is the cut off date the 31st of December 2019?

        It's based on Quarter 4 Labour Force Survey data, so a survey taken throughout Oct-Dec 2019, rather than just a snapshop taken on one date.
