Percentage Universal Credit claimants in employment - Birmingham Wards

Proportion of people claiming Universal Credit who are in employment. This is based on the count of the number of people on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (completed the Universal Credit claim process and accepted their Claimant Commitment) and have not had a closure of their claim recorded for this spell. A closure of their claim would be recorded either at the request of the individual or if their entitlement to Universal Credit ends, for example, if they no longer satisfy the financial conditions to receive Universal Credit as they have capital over the threshold. To allow sufficient time for earnings information to be gathered on all claimants, figures for the latest month in the series will not be available until the next release. Figures provided for starts show the Jobcentre Plus office recorded at the start of the claim, whereas the figures for the number of people on Universal Credit are representative of the current Jobcentre Plus office that the claimant is attending. It is possible for people to have started on Universal Credit in one office and have moved to another office during their claim, and for this reason, the number of people on Universal Credit can be higher than the starts figure for any particular office, however it is more noticeable when numbers are low. You may be eligible to get Universal Credit if you’re on a low income or out of work, 18 or over (there are some exceptions if you’re 16 to 17), you’re under State Pension age (or your partner is), you and your partner have £16,000 or less in savings between you, and you live in the UK. Universal Credit has replaced Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) for most people. It is still possible to claim JSA if you are 18 or over and under State Pension age. As long as you are actively looking for a full-time job and are out of work, or are working less than 16 hours a week. These standalone JSA claims are separately reported. Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant.Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

本数据集记录了主张普遍信用（Universal Credit）且处于就业状态之人群的比例。该比例基于每月第二个星期四在普遍信用体系下登记的人数（已完成普遍信用申请流程并接受申请人承诺）以及在此期间未记录申请关闭情况的人数。申请关闭情况可能因个人申请或因不再符合普遍信用资格而记录，例如，若个人资产超过门槛，则不再满足领取普遍信用的财务条件。为确保充分时间收集所有申请人的收入信息，该系列中最新月份的数据将不会在下次发布时可用。提供的起始数据表示在申请开始时记录的就业中心办公室，而普遍信用受助人数数据则代表申请人当前所参加的就业中心办公室。个人可能在一家办公室开始普遍信用，并在申请过程中转移到另一家办公室，因此，普遍信用受助人数可能高于特定办公室的起始人数，尤其在人数较少时更为明显。若您的收入较低或失业，年龄在18岁以上（16至17岁存在一些例外情况），您和您的伴侣总储蓄不超过16,000英镑，并且您居住在英国，您可能有资格获得普遍信用。普遍信用已取代大多数人的求职者津贴（Jobseeker’s Allowance, JSA）。若您年龄在18岁以上且未满国家养老金年龄，只要您积极寻找全职工作且失业，或每周工作时间少于16小时，您仍可申请JSA。这些独立的JSA申请将分别报告。统计披露控制已通过Stat-Xplore实施，以防止识别个别申请人。数据由LG Inform Plus提供支持，并在每月第三天自动检查新数据。
