DFINACT: Number of economically inactive residents in family (derived variable)

DFINACT is derived by summing the values of ECONINAC across each family. The values of this variable range from 0 to 6. 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.

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