DFECACT: Number of economically active residents in family (derived variable)
DFECACT is derived by summing the values of ECONACT across each family. The values of this variable range from 0 to 7. 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.
ECONACT is an indicator of whether a person is an economically active resident, derived from RESIDENT, ECONPRIM and ECONSEC. This conforms to the algorithm used by OPCS.CODE | MEANING |
0 | Not an economically active resident |
