Description
|
Percentage of working age people who are claiming Job Seeker's Allowance (JSA). Working age is defined as people aged 16 to 64. This is calculated using the number of JSA claimants as the numerator, and the mid year estimate population as the denominator. The data on which the count is based are derived from the Jobcentre Plus administrative system for paying JSA. They relate to all JSA claimants, including people who do not receive any benefit payment but who sign on for National Insurance credits only to preserve their eligibility for state pension. |
