At about 13%, London has one of the the lowest proportions of working families receiving in-work tax credits anywhere in the country.

This may be because families are less likely to be low paid in London and may also reflect the overall lower work rate

Between 5% and 10% of full-time and 30% - 40% of part-time employees in London are low paid – a lower proportion than in any other English region. This is true for full-time working men and women and part-time workers.

• Within London, the boroughs with the highest proportion of low-paid residents are Brent, Barking & Dagenham, Newham and Waltham Forest. There is no pronounced Inner/Outer pattern.

• By contrast, almost all of the boroughs with an above-average proportion of low-paid jobs are in Outer London, the highest being Bexley, Bromley, Waltham Forest and Harrow.

• Although a higher proportion of jobs in Outer London are low paid, the number of low paid jobs in Inner London is similar to that in Outer London. In particular, about a quarter of all low-paid jobs are in the five Inner West boroughs of Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth and Camden.

• The proportion of households receiving in-work tax credits as a supplement to earned income is lower in London than in most other parts of England.

• Within London, 60% of all tax credit recipients are in Outer London with most of the remainder living in the Inner East & South.
