</p><p>Notes:</p><p> </p><p>1. The Family Resources Survey (FRS) is a nationally representative
sample of UK households.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>2. The figures from the Family
Resources Survey are based on a sample of households which have been adjusted for
non-response using multi-purpose grossing factors which align the Family Resources
Survey to former Government Office Region population by age and sex. Estimates are
subject to sampling error and remaining non-response error.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>3. Percentages have been rounded to the nearest 1 per cent.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>4. Relative to administrative records, the FRS is known to under-report
benefit receipt. For more details please see the Methodology chapter of the FRS publication:

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>5. A dependant child is an individual aged under 16, or aged
16-19 and: not married, in a civil partnership, or living with a partner; and living
with parents or another responsible adult; and in full-time non-advanced education
or in unwaged government training.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>6. A household is
in work if at least one member who is not a dependant child is employed or self-employed,
either full- or part-time using the International Labour Organisation definitions.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The information requested for the work related
activity group of ESA is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate
cost.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The department publishes a wide range of statistics
relating to children in workless households, by benefit, which includes those receiving
Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) with child dependants (Table 4). This information
links our data with that for Child Benefit HMRC data and is available at:</p><p> </p><p><a

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The information requested on Universal Credit is not currently
available.</p><p> </p><p>The Department published its strategy for releasing Official
Statistics on Universal Credit in September 2013. These statistics will be published
in accordance with the relevant protocols in the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
As outlined in the strategy officials are currently quality assuring data for Universal
Credit therefore it is not yet possible to give a definitive list of what statistics
will be provided in the future.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department will
however be publishing statistics on the proportion of people claiming Universal Credit
who are in work on the 12 November 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit
statistics and the Department’s release strategy can be found at:</p><p> </p><p><a
