Cross Government Administrative Dataset – Northern Ireland
The Cross Government Income Administrative Dataset (CGIAD) is an income dataset for Northern Ireland that will be released in autumn 2024. The CGIAD dataset is an ADR Northern Ireland initiative involving a collaboration between the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and the Department for Communities.
It is a cross-sectional household level dataset containing income data from:
-
social security benefits
-
child benefits
-
housing benefits
-
earnings
-
tax credits
-
savings
for the 2018/19 year.
The CGIAD will support research aligned with the department’s key outcomes as detailed in Building Inclusive Communities - Strategy 2020-2025. This includes the delivery of an anti-poverty strategy supported by evidence-based proposals, as well as enhancing citizen-focused services and interventions through an ongoing process of customer insight, data analytics, research and analysis.
The CGIAD will also support the Department for Communities’ priority of 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.
Information on how to access this dataset will be available on the NISRA website.
