The figures used in this release have been superseded by the figures in the latest publication on childcare element statistics. The figures given in the latest publication should be used instead.
This ad hoc release of statistics shows the number of Universal Credit households receiving the childcare element as a proportion of households with children aged up to 16 where all adults are earning.
These figures have been published to provide additional information on the subject of childcare following the Work and Pensions Select Committee in April 2022. Releasing them in this ad hoc publication gives equal access to all those with an interest in them.
