TI - The COVID-19 Crisis and Universal Credit in Glasgow: September 2021
AB - This is the fourth and final working paper in theseries on Universal Credit in Glasgow and Scotlandfrom Dr Sarah Weakley, and her co-author on this paper, Laura Comincini. It uses publicly available Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) data to investigate the income crisis among low-income people who access Universal Credit (UC) in Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on data at the Glasgow City local authority level. The data covers the period from the onset of the COVID-19 crisis (March 2020) to July 2021, or shorter when more recent data was not available. Having up to 17 months of data allows us to investigate what trends have emerged and persist in UC caseload; this paper reports on these trends and considers the implications of these trends on policy and practice.
