snap_domino_beta_ext proposed
Definition
Derived from DOMINO, Snap DOMINO enables researchers to easily navigate snapshot views of individuals’ interactions with the welfare system, on specified days of the year. Each snapshot has been curated to be easily analysed, visualised and compared to other snapshots to define trends, insights and aggregate reporting figures.
Currently Snap DOMINO is shared internally as a beta table in DOMINO and it contains the following information:
•Benefits
•Health care and pension cards
•Demographics
•Living locations
•Partner relationships and principal carer status
In the future we plan to make Snap DOMINO available to external researchers and build on the information we provide (adding education level, earnings / income amounts and welfare payments).
