Family Resources Survey
About this study
The Family Resources Survey (FRS) is a major study, conducted on
behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Running since 1992, the study provides facts and figures about the
living conditions and resources of households in the United
Kingdom. It is used by the Government to monitor the impact of
policy changes and plan annual spending.
Results from the study are published every year on the Department
for Work and Pension's
website.
How we're
working
The Family Resources Survey is conducted by NatCen and the Office for National Statistics.
Potential policy impact
The Department for Work and Pensions uses the information
provided by this study to help plan how they will spend their
annual budget of over £100 billion.
Results from the study help the Department for Work and Pensions
understand how different sections of the public are managing today.
From the results the Department for Work and Pensions can assess
what effect decisions about taxes and benefits might have on
families and individuals.
Methods
