    Tuesday, 21 January, 2020

    This briefing paper explains how Universal Credit has increased the number of people claiming unemployment benefits, by requiring a broader group of claimants to look for work than was the case under Jobseeker’s Allowance.

This models what the claimant count would have been if Universal Credit had been fully in place since 2013.
