| Notes: | |
| 1. The Family Resources Survey (FRS) is a nationally representative sample of approximately 26,000 households. | |
| 2. Data for 2006-07 was collected between April 2006 and March 2007. | |
| 3. The figures are based on a sample of households which have been adjusted for non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors which align the FRS to Government Office Region populations by age and sex. Estimates are subject to sampling error and remaining non-response error. | |
| 4. The FRS does not collect details on when the respondent started work. So the estimates include lone parents who may always have been in work and never on benefits. | |
| 5. The categories for the number of hours worked have been grouped together owing to small sample sizes. | |
| 6. Weekly income is based on self-assessment and therefore may be subject to misreporting. | |
