women – Camden had the 13th highest overall claimant rate in March 2006.

been higher than the London average. 
 
The rate for men (2.4%) is the same as the Greater London rate (2.4%) – up to 2009 the trend for Camden had

Note that this is the FINAL monthly summary in the JSA claimant series due to the growing influence of Universal 
Credit. Although Universal Credit was only introduced in Camden in March 2016, it has made comparison with other areas 
increasingly dubious. GLA will create a new model based on DWP ‘Claimant Count’, combining JSA and Universal Credit. 
                                         
1 The rounded count is to the nearest 5 persons. The rounded count is based on computerised claims only, but which now accounts for almost all claims.  
2  The JSA claimant count rate is calculated as proportion of the economically active population (i.e. those available for work). The rate is calculated by GLA using the JSA claimant count (numerator) and 
GLA’s estimate of the current economically active population for the current year (fully re-based using the 2011 Census).
