Supply of face-to-face debt advice as a percentage of demand (13449) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimated supply of face-to-face debt advice as a percentage of demand. Unmet Demand = (Total ‘demand’ for debt advice) minus (Total ‘supply’ of debt advice). It is possibe for the percentage to be over 100.
The aim of this Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) research was to understand the current ‘supply’ of debt advice across the UK and how this compares to the ‘demand’ for debt advice, at local authority level. The findings help identify the areas where debt advice is most needed.
Demand for debt advice was established through commissioned surveys of 18+ adults, to be sufficiently representative of the UK regions and demographics. Within the surveys, respondents were asked questions to identify whether they were over-indebted and to understand their behaviour in relation to advice. The data was then modelled to produce an estimate of over-indebtedness levels and debt advice demand at local authority and other area levels.
Demand is defined as the sum of: Demand (helped) - the number of adults who were helped by providers, across the most recent year + Demand (not helped) - the number of adults who approached providers but were not helped, across that same year.
