Q1 (Jan - Mar) 2008 Q1 (Jan - Mar) 2009 Q1 (Jan - Mar) 2010 Q1 (Jan - Mar) 2011 Q1 (Jan - Mar) 2012

Out of work benefits includes Jobseeker’s Allowance, Incapacity Benefit and Employment and Support Allowance (IB & ESA), Income Support (IS) and a group of other out of work benefits that account for very small numbers of claimants.

In quarter 1 2012, a lower proportion of females claimed out of work benefits compared to males; 15.3% of all working age males and 13.5% of all working age females claimed out of work benefits. This is despite the fact that the overall employment rate is lower amongst females; compared to males a higher number of working age females in Coventry are not in employment. This suggests that more women are out of work and not claiming benefits.

Breaking it down, the increase amongst females was lower than it was amongst males due to the fact that they experienced a lower increase in their Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) claimant rate over the whole period and a greater fall in their Income Support claimant rate.

Between 2008 and 2012 the overall economic inactivity and unemployment rates increased amongst men and women, explaining the overall increase in the number of benefit claimants. For both males and females the total number of out of work benefit claimants increased by less than the total number of people not working increased; there are now more people without a job and not receiving out of work benefits. Economic inactivity increased by a similar amount amongst males and females but unemployment increased by more amongst men; this is consistent with the analysis above, which shows a greater increase in the number of male JSA claimants.

Most of the increase in the number of male benefit claimants during the last 4 years occurred between 2008 and 2010; this was due to a sharp increase in the male JSA claimant rate. Between 2010 and 2012 the number of male JSA claimants started to fall whereas the number of female JSA claimants has fluctuated. This may be partly due to changes in the eligibility criteria for claiming Income Support on the basis of a being a lone parent, so a number of females may have moved from claiming Income Support to claiming JSA.

In quarter 1 of 2012 (calendar year) a total of 30,030 working age residents of Coventry were claiming one or more of the out of work benefits, up from 27,460 in quarter 1 of 2008. So between 2008 and 2012, for all working age residents males and females together, the out of work benefits claimant rate increased from 13.4% of the total working age population of Coventry to 14.4%, a 1.0 percentage point increase.

This has been mainly driven by an increase in the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance, which is claimed by people who are unemployed. Residents claiming other out of work benefits are more often economically inactive. The number of people claiming Incapacity Benefits (including ESA) and Income Support has been falling over this period, due partly to changes in eligibility criteria.

Between 2008 and 2012 the number of male residents claiming out of work benefits increased from 14,330, 13.6% of all working age males, to 16,260, 15.3% of all working age males; a 1.6 percentage point increase.

The out of work benefit claimant rate amongst females has also increased in this period but to a lesser extent. In 2008 13,130 women claimed out of work benefits, 13.1% of all working age women. By 2012 this has increased to 13,770 claimants, a rate of 13.5%; a 0.3 percentage point increase over the period.

Q1 2008 Q1 2009 Q1 2010 Q1 2011 Q1 2012

To demonstrate differences by areas of deprivation, data has been analysed by quintiles of deprivation (Quintile 1 relates to areas in Coventry that are included within the most deprived 20% of areas in England and Quintile 5 relates to those within the least deprived 20% of areas in England)

Nearly a quarter of the working age population in Quintile 1 was claiming an out of work benefit in 2012 compared to just 4% of the working age population in quintile 5.

Those in the most deprived areas of the city showed the greatest increase in the percentage of the working age population claiming at least one out of work benefit between 2008 and 2012.

In 2012 there were 1,210 more claimants in quintile 1 (most deprived) than there were in 2008, a 1.1 percentage point increase. This compares to an increase of just 65 claimants (up 0.6 percentage points) amongst the working age population in quintile 5 (least deprived areas).

Take me homeWhat is this telling me?

Looking at the picture for different out of work benefits side-by-side shows more clearly the impact of new eligibility rules.

Between 2008 and 2012 the percentage of the working age population in Coventry claiming JSA has increased by 3,715 (1.7 percentage point increase) while claimants of IS and IB/ESA have decreased by 2 and 0.2 percentage points respectively.

Over the four years, there was a greater decline in the rate of females claiming IS than males (2.5 percentage point decrease for women, 1.6 percentage point decrease for men). This may be due to changes which mean lone parents (most often women) are only eligible to claim IS until their child is 5 when previously this benefit was available until the child reached age 13.

Take me homeWhat is this telling me?

A similar examination of claim rates of the different out of work benefits by age group shows the greatest percentage point increase to have taken place amongst 25 to 34 year olds claiming JSA ( up 2.1 percentage points). The greatest decrease in claims was amongst 35-44 year olds claiming IS (-3.6 percentage point difference).

Again, this is likely to reflect changes in eligibility for the various benefits.
