Output: Number of people receiving support to gain employment
Relevant to UKSPF intervention E40
Definition: Economically inactive people, or people who have been unemployed, who are receiving support to be in employment, including self-employment, for at least a 2 week of a four-week period following support.
Economically inactive individuals are those not in work and not actively seeking work (unlike unemployed individuals who are actively seeking work). Not all economically inactive individuals claim benefits. For those that do, this would include those claiming either "legacy" benefits or those within specific conditionality regimes in Universal Credit (UC). The former here includes Employment Support Allowance (ESA), Incapacity Benefit (IB) and Income Support (IS). The latter here includes claimants within the Preparation Requirement or Work Focused Interview Requirement conditionality regimes (or equivalent for all of the above). There is no length of time on inactivity required. People count if they are 16+.
Unemployed as defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) are those:
- without a job, have been actively seeking work in the past four weeks, and are available to start in the next two weeks
- out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks
- not all unemployed persons claim unemployment-related benefits. This is due to either not being entitled to claim unemployment-related benefits or choosing not to do so. Here, unemployment-related benefits are defined as those in receipt of Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) or are in the Intensive Work Search Regime within Universal Credit (UC)
- employed individuals are people aged 16 and over who do one hour or more of paid work per week, or are temporarily away from work (e.g. because are temporarily sick or on holiday). This includes:
- employees (permanent and temporary workers, the latter including those on fixed period contracts, agency temping etc.)
- self-employed persons
- people on government-supported training programmes, engaging in any form of work, work experience or work-related training
- persons on maternity or paternity leave
