I propose to take Questions Nos. 444 to 447, inclusive, together.

The total number of young persons under 25 years of age in receipt of jobseeker’s benefit at the end of September 2013 was 3,153. The total number of young persons aged 25 years of age in receipt of jobseeker’s benefit at the end of September 2013 was 1,149. A detailed breakdown of this number by age and duration is contained in the following tabular statement. Duration is based on days elapsed since registration of jobseeker’s benefit claims and thus periods of casual employment, among other payment categorisations, are included in the duration periods.
