figures have been calculated by matching the Universal Credit household dataset, which
contains information about family type, with the people on Universal Credit dataset,
which contains information about employment. The figure for households occupied by
single parents has been deduced where the household has a family type of ‘single with
child dependant(s)’. It has not been possible to determine the employment status of
approximately 8,000 single parent households.</li></ol><p> </p><ol start="3"><li>A
count date of the second Thursday of the month is used when calculating the statistics
for the people and households on Universal Credit. An individual on Universal Credit
at the count date will be recorded as in employment if they have employment earnings
recorded within their completed Universal Credit assessment period closest to the
count date. They may not be in employment on the count date.</li></ol><p> </p><ol
