Of those individuals in work, we estimate that around 500,000 under 25 year olds will be in receipt of UC once it is fully rolled out. Individual year breakdowns are not available.
This estimate is based on the Policy Simulation Model using the Family Resources Survey 2010/11 and assumptions consistent with the Budget 2014 forecast.
