Benefit status for young people aged 15 to 27; region 2019, 2007-2018

This table contains figures on the benefit status of young people aged 15 to 27 at 31 December of the reference year by region. The benefit position of young people is divided into benefits or no benefits. The types of unemployment benefit, incapacity for work and assistance and assistance-related benefits are also included. The regional breakdown for all years is based on the municipal division of 1 January 2019. The total number of young people with a benefit in this table is lower than in regular StatLine tables on persons with benefits because young people not residing in the Netherlands or whose place of residence is unknown are not included in this table. The number of young people with benefits in this table is also lower than in the Labour market situation for young people (15 to 27 years old); region 2018. This is mainly due to the fact that an exact reference date was chosen in this table (31 December) while in the Labour market situation table young people (15 to 27 years old); region 2018 looked at whether someone had a benefit somewhere in the month of October. For the above tables see paragraph 3. A young person can claim multiple benefits. These may include benefits of the same kind, for example, two incapacity benefits, or benefits of different types, such as unemployment and assistance benefits. In the latter case, the younger person is included in both types of benefits. In the first case, only once in the case of disability benefits. In the total counts, the person is counted once. As a result, the sum of the categories is not equal to the total number of young people with a benefit. In order to show how young people in the Netherlands are doing, the National Youth Monitor describes more than 70 topics in addition to this topic. The topics are called indicators. Data available from 2007 to 2018 Status of the figures: These are definitive figures. Changes as of 12 March 2021: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable.
