Documentation
Description:
Cross sectional information is collected for the dataset for the financial year 2019/20 from four main data providers: the Department for Communities (DfC), His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE). This includes social security benefits data administered by DWP on behalf of DfC, and earnings and employment information from HMRC. The CGIAD contains approximately 729,000 households. Based on comparisons with both the Family Resources Survey and NISRA’s Household Projections, this indicates that it covers around 98% of NI households.
The CGIAD was developed by the Department for Communities’ Analytics Division (DfC-AD) working collaboratively with Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency’s Research Support Unit (NISRA-RSU). The CGIAD can offer an evidence base for policy development and decision making as well as the monitoring of public policy in Northern Ireland. The CGIAD will support research aligned with the DfC's key outcomes. This includes:
- The delivery of an anti-poverty strategy supported by evidence-based proposals.
- Collaborating with other Departments and delivering with partners on cross-cutting issues, including homelessness, place and deprivation-based approaches, and employability to deliver a sustainable and effective set of anti-poverty interventions.
- Enhancing citizen focused services and interventions through an ongoing process of customer insight, data analytics, research, and analysis.
