Employment domain rank classification |

Description
|
The purpose of this domain is to capture lack of employment. This covers involuntary exclusion of the working-age population from work, including those who cannot work due to ill-health or who are unemployed, but actively seeking work. The employment domain has a relative weight of 22% in the overall WIMD 2019 Index. The employment domain is made up of one indicator, containing four elements:
- Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA);
- Employment and Support Allowance (ESA);
- Incapacity Benefit (replaced Severe Disablement Allowance)-
Universal Credit (UC) and not in employment
This indicator is expressed as a percentage of the residential working-age population for each LSOA, with the prison population subtracted from the four LSOAs containing prisons in Wales (as at 2016). |
