Subject: Official Information Act request - Number of adults on beneficiaries who had parents or caregivers on a benefit

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

According to the June 2014 National Benefit Worksheet, published 18 July 2014, there were 293,586 people on benefits in New Zealand.

I would like to know of these people - how many grew up in a home with a parent or caregiver on a benefit.

Yours faithfully,

Rebecca
