Since 2003/4 the unemployment rate inEngland has increased slightly whereas in Barnsley it remained at about thesame rate until 2008/9 when it increased rapidly as expected from theeconomic downturn.7.3 Social Security Benefits - Children & Young People 8Various benefits are paid to families and children. Much of the data is onlyavailable at Lower Super Output Area (LOSA) level. For the purposes of thisreport, it has been estimated for the post-2004 wards using a populationweighting. The figures at ward level are therefore only estimates.7.3.1 Children and Young People in receipt of BenefitsIncome SupportIncome Support (IS) is paid to a person who is (a) a resident of Great Britain(b) aged 16 or over (c) is not working 16 hours or more a week, and (d) hasless money coming in than the law says they need to live on.
