Notes: ‘WfF’ is Working for Families tax credit; ‘AS’ is Accommodation Supplement. Other sources of income = withholding payments, student allowance, paid parental leave and ACC claims. Benefit receipt In this sub-section, we examine the relationship between benefit receipt (accounting for all benefits paid by Ministry of Social Development) and in-work poverty. Table 12 shows that 66.1 percent of non-work households have at least one adult member who receives benefits. This figure falls to 11.6 percent of in-work households. When we divide the latter group between poor and non-poor households, we see that about 28.7 percent of in-work poor households have at least one member who receives benefits – substantially above the figure for in-work non-poor households (10.3 percent).

Notes: Working and poverty status as defined in Section 3 (sample of 874,797 households). We next analyse benefit duration based on the number of months (in the time period April 2012 to March 2013) where at least one adult member of the household received benefits (Figure 10). While 84 percent of in-work non-poor households do not receive any benefits at all within the year, this is Page 37
