Description

This table contains figures on the benefit position of young people aged 15 to 27 who were resident in the Netherlands on 31 December of the reference year by sex, age, migrant background and living situation. The benefit position of young people is divided into benefit or no benefit. The types of benefit are also included, covering unemployment, incapacity for work and social assistance and social assistance-related benefits. The total number of young people receiving benefits in this table is lower than in regular StatLine tables on people receiving benefits because young people do not live in the Netherlands or whose place of residence is unknown are not included in this table. The number of young people receiving benefits in this table is also lower than in the table Labour market situation of young people (15 to 27 years); Region 2022. This is mainly due to the fact that an exact reference date has been chosen in this table (31 December) while in the table Labour market situation young people (15 to 27 years); Region 2022 looked at whether someone had a benefit somewhere in the month of October. For the above tables see section 3. A young person can claim multiple benefits. These may be benefits of the same type, for example two benefits for incapacity for work, or benefits of different types, such as unemployment and social assistance benefits. In the latter case, the young person is included in both types of benefits. In the first case, only once in the case of invalidity 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 receiving benefits. Data available from 2007 to 2022. Status of figures: These are final figures. Changes as of 14 June 2024: None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of 8 December 2021: Figures for 2020 have been added. In order to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus crisis, the Temporary Bridging Scheme for Self-Employed Entrepreneurs (Tozo) came into force on 1 March 2020. The Temporary Bridging Scheme for Self-Employed Entrepreneurs (Tozo) provides self-employed entrepreneurs with an additional allowance for living expenses or a loan for working capital to cope with liquidity problems due to the coronavirus crisis. Self-employed entrepreneurs can receive an amount from this scheme to supplement their income to the social minimum. The first part of the Tozo expired at the end of May 2020, but due to an extension, the scheme was still in force at the end of 2020. The Tozo is considered a social assistance-related benefit, which led to a sharp increase in the number of people receiving social assistance-related benefits in 2020. When will there be new figures? No longer applicable.
