Children in Workless Households: LFS and FRS differences (118KB)
|
DWP and ONS have jointly investigated the reasons for the Family Resources Survey (FRS) consistently giving higher estimates, than does the Labour Force Survey (LFS), of the proportion of children in workless households. This proportion is the subject of a DWP PSA target and is also a key driver in relation to the DWP/HMT joint PSA target to reduce child poverty by 25% between 1998 and 2004. LFS is used to monitor the former, FRS the latter. The recommendations of this report have been accepted by DWP and ONS. |
