The series aims to provide data on the destinations of working-age benefit leavers. At present, information on destinations is collected for Job Seeker's Allowance (JSA) recipients, but not for other benefit leavers. This research therefore aims to provide the equivalent information for them via survey data collection.<br> <br> The specific objectives of the research series are as follows:<br> <li>to produce data that are comparable as possible with the future administrative solution (specifically, this involves the collection of information on immediate destination after leaving the benefit, details on hours and earnings where the destination is work, current activity at time of interview), and demographic information not already held administratively;</li><br> <li>to provide data for a large and representative sample of leavers in particular client groups;</li><br> <li>to provide input into the design of the administrative data collection exercise.</li></h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>Topics covered included: type of benefit received; reasons benefit no longer received; whether moved onto other benefit; whether started work or other disposal; employment and self-employment; details of pay; and ethnic group. <br> <br> The data file also contains some sample and administrative variables (such as a unique serial number, and information on the region the respondent was resident in at the time of the survey) and some derived variables (such as hourly pay which has been calculated from earnings and from hours worked). There are also two weighting variables (of which 'final scale weight' was the one used by the researchers).</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> February 2004 - October 2004 <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> June 2004 - October 2004 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> Great Britain <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Local Authority Areas <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> People aged between 18 and 65 living in Great Britain who had stopped receiving Income Support or Incapacity Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance between 1 February and 14 May 2004. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Repeated cross-sectional study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> One-stage stratified or systematic random sample <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 38,101 (target), 17,166 (obtained) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Face-to-face interview; Telephone interview <br><i class='myclass'>Weighting: </i> Weighting used.
