Percentage Universal Credit claimants in employment - WMCA

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.

本数据集记录了声称享有全民信用福利的就业人口比例。该比例基于每月第二个星期四在全民信用福利名单上的人数统计（已完成全民信用福利申请流程并接受申请承诺），且在此期间未记录任何申请关闭情况。申请关闭可能因个人申请或因不再符合获得全民信用福利的条件而记录，例如，若个人资产超过阈值，不再满足获得全民信用福利的财务条件。为充分收集所有申请人的收入信息，系列数据中最新月份的数字将不会在下一发布时可用。提供的开始数据表明记录申请开始的Jobcentre Plus办公室，而全民信用福利接收人数的统计数据则代表申请人正在参加的当前Jobcentre Plus办公室。个人可能在一家办公室开始享受全民信用福利，并在申请期间转移到另一家办公室，因此，全民信用福利接收人数可能高于任何特定办公室的开始人数，尤其是在人数较少时更为明显。如果您收入低或失业，年满18岁及以上（16至17岁存在一些例外），未达到国家养老金年龄（或您的配偶是），您和您的配偶的总储蓄不超过16,000英镑，并且您居住在英国，您可能有资格获得全民信用福利。全民信用福利已取代大多数人的求职者津贴（JSA）。如果您年满18岁且未达到国家养老金年龄，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，您仍然可以申请JSA。这些独立的JSA申请将单独报告。统计披露控制已通过Stat-Xplore实施，以防止识别单个申请人。数据由LG Inform Plus提供支持，并在每月的第三天自动检查新数据。
