| STATE PENSION AGE: The age at which women reach state pension age is gradually increasing from 60 to 65 between April 2010 and April 2016 to November 2018. From December 2018, the state pension age for both men and women will start to increase to reach 66 in October 2020. This will introduce a small increase to the number of working age benefit recipients and a small reduction to the number of pension age recipients. Figures from May 2010 onwards reflect this change.

| Notes: |
| 1. This table includes the key out-of-work client group categories, with the exception of carers who are not subject to activation policies in the same way as other groups. |
| 2. This table presents just one Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) series. The United Kingdom (UK) seasonally adjusted series is not broken down by age, but is available by gender. The JSA series presented covers Great Britain (GB) and is not seasonally adjusted. This second series is presented as it allows comparisons with the other key out of work benefits published by DWP which also cover GB and are not seasonally adjusted. This JSA series differs slightly from the JSA numbers presented elsewhere for this indicator as it excludes non-computerised clerical cases (approx 1 percent of cases). |
| 3. UK figures (seasonally adjusted) published by the ONS. This series is the most reliable and up-to-date source for claimant unemployment. |
| 4. GB figures (not seasonally adjusted) published by the ONS. This series is the most reliable and up-to-date source for claimant unemployment. |
| 5. GB figures (not seasonally adjusted). Published by DWP as part of the 100 per cent working age client group analysis. A consistent series for the UK as a whole is not readily available. |
| 6. GB figures (not seasonally adjusted). Published by DWP as part of the 100 per cent working age client group analysis. A consistent series for the UK as a whole is not readily available. A consistent series for the UK as a whole is not readily available. This group has been reasonably stable over time. |
| 7. Excludes claimants in receipt of Income Support and Carers Allowance. |
| 8. The "Incapacity Benefits group" includes Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). ESA replaced Incapacity Benefit and Income Support paid on the grounds of incapacity for new claims from 27 October 2008. |
