Destination of benefit leavers 2004
Research Report No. 244
By Nick Coleman and Lizzie Kennedy
This research report outlines key information from a survey of working age benefit leavers. This survey was a repeat of the 2003 Destinations Survey published on 4 August 2004. The survey was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions and is part of the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study, which focuses on improving information on the destinations of working age benefit leavers and monitoring the number of claimants flowing off benefits and into work. The survey was conducted by BMRB International Limited.
The Department for Work and Pensions Social Research Division is responsible for commissioning and managing the Departments research programme. The research programme serves the information needs of Ministers, the Department and its Agencies. Research contributes to the development and implementation on new policies, and the monitoring and evaluation of existing policies. It also plays an important role in providing customer feedback on the Departments services.
Researchers in the division work closely with Departmental colleagues responsible for making policy and delivering the services for which the Department is responsible. Most projects are carried out by external contractors who work closely with in-house researchers throughout the project. A programme of work is agreed annually and details are announced.
