Note


New Claimant Count Data

As part of the Government’s welfare reforms benefit claimants have been gradually moving over to Universal Credits. On Wednesday 11 November 2015, the ONS published a new dataset measuring the Claimant Count by sex and age that includes out of work Universal Credit claimants, although roll out of Universal Credits across South East is not complete. This new dataset replaces JSA as the headline statistic and will have implications for locally produced unemployment claimant numbers and rates. As shown in the main report (Labour Market Update) and this supplementary document the inclusion of Universal Credits may give a higher unemployment count and rate.

Further Information

What is the New Claimant Count?The new Claimant Count data is an experimental series that counts the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance plus those who claim Universal Credit who are out of work, and replaces the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance as the headline indicator of the number of people claiming benefits principally for the reason of being unemployed. The Universal Credit estimates are still being developed by the Department for Work and Pensions. The ONS has therefore decided that the Claimant Count estimates including Universal Credit (which have been published as an alternative measure for regions and countries of the UK since July 2014) will continue to be designated as experimental statistics even though they are now the headline measure. The JSA data is still published, but separately.

Local implicationsThe new Claimant Count data is not as comprehensive as the JSA data. There is currently no breakdown by duration or occupation and no information for when this will be published. Furthermore, the claimant count unemployment rates are available for the 16-64 age group and not other age groups of interest (young people in particular).

Our (proxy) estimate of the unemployment rate (JSA+UC) for the 16-24 age group is based on mid-year population estimates from ONS.
