Omits households with 12+ persons and persons aged 0-15 years. An order of priority is applied to responses to the economic activity question: see Census Definitions 6.62. ECONPRIM refers to the code accorded secondary importance by this procedure. Further information is given in the Glossary and in Census Definitions 6.61-6.71.
ECONSEC: Secondary economic position
This has been derived from SALWTEN (secondary activity last week) as shown:
ECONSEC SALWTEN
- Not applicable not present 1 Employee Full-time 01 2 Employee Part-time 02 3 Self-employed 03,04 4 Unemployed 06,07 5 Student 08 6 Permanently sick 09 7 Retired 10 8 Other inactive 11,12
The codes for SALWTEN are as below:
01 Employee working full-time 02 Employee working part-time 03 Self-employed, employing others 04 Self-employed, not employing others 05 Government employment or training scheme 06 Waiting to take/start a job 07 Unemployed/ looking for work 08 At school or in full-time education 09 Unable to work because of long-term disability 10 Retired from paid work 11 Looking after home and family 12 Other economically inactive
A note on the coding of ECONPRIM and ECONSEC
The coding of PALWTEN was based on the responses to question 13 on the census schedule, where up to three ticks were coded. The lowest numbered boxes were given priority, except where box 5 (on a government scheme) or box 8 (at school or in full-time education) were ticked, in which case they took precedence over all other boxes. On ECONPRIM, therefore, being on a government scheme or being a full-time student will always take priority over any other code.
The secondary economic position (ECONSEC) gives the economic position (where more than one box was ticked) which comes second in precedence. For example, if boxes 1 and 5 were ticked (full-time work and government scheme respectively), the person concerned would be coded as on a government scheme on ECONPRIM and in full-time work on ECONSEC. Similarly, someone who ticked boxes 2 and 10 (part-time work and 'looking after home and family' respectively) would record the former as ECONPRIM and the latter as ECONSEC.
