DFYNGDEP: Age of youngest resident dependant in family (derived variable)

DFYNGDEP is derived by selecting the minimum value for MINAGEDP across each family. Families within households of twelve or more persons are not included, as there are no individual records for such households. The variable does not apply to 'no-family' persons - that is, people who are defined as not part of a family.

MINAGEDP indicates the age of a dependant for the purposes of calculating the age of the youngest dependant in a family. It is derived from DEPENDTS and AGE.
