Claimant Count MSOA Map Data

This dataset uses ONS Claimant Count estimates to monitor unemployment in Leicester.Claimant Count is the number of people claiming Universal Credit or Jobseekers' Allowance principally for the reason of being unemployed.Claimant Count is a useful proxy for unemployment because it is the most comprehensive unemployment-related dataset published at geographies smaller than the local authority level. While there is significant overlap, it is not the same as the national measure for unemployment, which is based on estimates from the Labour Force Survey and Annual Population Survey.Claimant Count is best used for understanding short term changes in the labour market and the relative position of small areas.Rates are calculated using ONS mid-year estimates for the 16-64 year old population as a denominator.Further information: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/methodologies/aguidetolabourmarketstatistics#introduction

本数据集采用英国国家统计局（ONS）的失业申领人数估计数据，以监控莱斯特市的失业状况。失业申领人数系指因失业而主要申领失业救济金或求职者津贴的人数。失业申领人数作为失业的替代指标，具有显著价值，因其系在地方政府级别以下地理范围内发布的最全面的失业相关数据集。尽管与国家失业率指标存在显著的重叠，但失业申领人数并非基于劳动力调查和年度人口普查估计的国家失业率。失业申领人数最适用于理解劳动力市场的短期变化以及小区域的相对位置。计算比率时，以ONS年中估计的16至64岁人口为分母。更多信息请参阅：https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/methodologies/aguidetolabourmarketstatistics#introduction
