Number of people aged 50-64 claiming unemployment benefits (11145) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of people aged 50-64 receiving Jobseeker's Allowance or Universal Credit while unemployed. Calculated by combining the totals of people aged 50-54, 55-59 and 60-64 receiving Jobseeker's Allowance and the totals for these ages receiving Universal Credit while unemployed in an area. These benefits are intended to support a person while they are unemployed and looking for work. Data is from the Department of Work and Pensions Stat-Xplore tool.
The Alternative Claimant Count statistics measure claimant unemployment by modelling what the count would have been if Universal Credit had been fully rolled out since 2013 to provide insights to changes in the local labour market. The statistics provide a consistent measure of local levels of unemployed claimants over time and across areas and a better indication of labour market change.
Figures show the number of people claiming unemployment related benefits modelled under Universal Credit conditionality. These are people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance (including Credits Only), or Universal Credit Searching for Work (excluding those awaiting a Work Capability Assessment), or those ‘additionals’ who would have been searching for work under Universal Credit had it rolled out. This comprises partners of Employment and Support Allowance or Income Support claimants, those claiming Housing Benefit or Child Tax Credit (but not earning more than the threshold, or disabled or with caring responsibilities).
Figures are not seasonally adjusted.
