This release is categorised as a CSO Frontier Series output and is the first in a series of annual releases based on a new methodology developed by the CSO that allows for an analysis of demographics, economic activity, and social welfare activity for people seeking International Protection who are beneficiaries of the Daily Expense Allowance for the years 2016 to 2024.
The Daily Expense Allowance is a social welfare benefit which is only available to International Protection applicants, however not all people seeking International Protection benefit from the Daily Expense Allowance. For more information on the methodology, including the definition of employment activity, see the Editor's Note or the Frequently Asked Questions.
As a CSO Frontier Series release, this release may use methods under development and/or data sources which may be incomplete, for example new administrative data sources. Particular care must be taken when interpreting the statistics in this experimental analysis.
