I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.
Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated May 2012:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many (a) 18-24 and (b) 18-21 year olds claimed Jobseekers Allowance in England in the latest period for which figures are available; what proportion ceased claiming after (i) three, (it) six, (iii) nine and (iv) 12 months; and how many of those who ceased claiming after each such period (A) found a full-time job, (B) found a part-time job, (C) entered full-time higher education, (D) entered full-time further education, (E) transferred to other benefits and (F) left for another destination. (106467)
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) compiles the number of claimants of Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) from the Jobcentre Plus administrative system.
Table 1 shows the number of people aged 18-24 and 18-21 who were claiming JSA in England in April 2012.
Table 2 shows the number of people aged 18-24 and 18-21 who flowed off Jobseeker's Allowance in England by age group, length of claim and destination between the March and April 2012 counts. We have provided the length of claim in weeks as follows: 0-13 weeks, 14-26 weeks, 27-39 weeks, 40-52 weeks and 52 and over weeks. The requested categories for the destination of these off-flows are not available. As an alternative we have categorized these off-flows as Found job/increased hours; Full-time education; Transfer to other benefits; and Other/Unknown.
Table 3 shows the number of off-flows of people aged 18-24 and 18-21 as a percentage of all off-flows between the March and April 2012 counts for each age group for the same breakdowns as table 2.
National and local area estimates for many labour-market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at:

| 1. The figures relate to young people known to Connexions and are not directly comparable with the statistics on 16 to 18-year-olds NEET published annually by the Department of Children, Schools and Families. This is because the Connexions NEET measure excludes those on gap years, or in custody. Young people who attended independent schools or were educated outside England may also be excluded. In addition, the Department's statistics relate to the young person's academic age, rather than calendar age. |

| Notes: | ||||
| 1. Prescription Cost Analysis Data: Prescription information is taken from the PCA system, supplied by the Prescription Pricing Division of the Business Services Authority, and is based on a full analysis of all prescriptions dispensed in the community, i.e. by community pharmacists and appliance contractors, dispensing doctors, and prescriptions submitted by prescribing doctors for items personally administered in England. Also included are prescriptions written in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man but dispensed in England. The data do not cover drugs dispensed in hospitals, including mental health trusts, or private prescriptions. | ||||
| 2. Prescription Items: Prescriptions are written on a prescription form. Each single item written on the form is counted as a prescription item. | ||||
| 3. Net Ingredient Cost (NIC): NIC is the basic cost of a drug. It does not take account of discounts, dispensing costs, fees or prescription charges income. | ||||
| 4. Exemption Category Estimates: The exemption data are identified from the box ticked on the back of the prescription form and relies on the form being completed correctly which may not always be the case. Information for categories that are not required to pay a charge (e.g. children) is based on a one in 20 sample of all exempt prescriptions dispensed by community pharmacists, appliance contractors and dispensing doctors. The information we have is therefore an estimate and subject to sampling errors. |
