DFUNEMP: Number of unemployed residents in family (derived variable)

DFUNEMP is derived by summing the values of UNEMPERS across each family. The values of this variable range from 0 to 5. 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.

UNEMPERS is an indicator of whether a person is an unemployed resident, derived from RESIDENT, ECONPRIM and ECONSEC. This conforms to the algorithm used by OPCS.
