DFOTHER: Number of residents who are 'other inactive' in family (derived variable)
DFOTHER is derived by summing the values of OTHINACT across each family. The values of this variable range from 0 to 3. 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.
OTHINACT is an indicator of whether a person is an economically active 'other' resident (ECONPRIM=10, made up predominantly of people 'looking after the home and family'). It is derived from RESIDENT and ECONPRIM. This conforms to the algorithm used by OPCS.
CODE | MEANING |
