Details

The Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study data are based on 100% of claimants and cover information such as:

  • age and gender of claimant
  • duration of their spell on benefit
  • geographical locations of claimants

Breakdowns for individual benefits (for example the type of Jobseekers Allowance in payment) are also available in 5% sample data which has more detail but less comprehensive coverage.
