Number of children aged 5-10 living in all out-of-work benefit claimant households
(5580)
Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of children aged 5-10 living in households where at least one parent or guardian claimed one or more of the following out-of-work benefits: Jobseeker?s Allowance, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance, Incapacity
Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance or Pension Credit at 31st May each year.
These statistics have been derived by matching DWP out-of-work benefit data with HMRC Child Benefit data. Children are matched through the Child Benefit claimant or partner records to DWP benefit claimants. There is a considerable overlap in the breakdown by benefit type, as for example, a claimant of Income Support may also be claiming Incapacity Benefit. The total number of children living in an out of work benefit household figure only captures children once, irrespective of the combination of benefits being claimed by parents or guardians.
Universal Credit is not included in these statistics although DWP estimate that the impact of Universal Credit on children in out of work benefit households is minimal.
In 2012, the unavailability of a Child Benefit scan led to a slight change in methodology to enable production of the 2012 tables. DWP do not expect this to have an impact on outputs, however, please be aware of this when making time-series comparisons.
Data are rounded to the nearest ten for larger geographical areas. For smaller geographies such as Ward and Lower Layer Super Output Area, figures are independently rounded to five. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
