Description

Definition
The classification of household into socio-economic groups was based on the main source of livelihood, employment status, kind of economic activity and occupation. This classification divided households into 10 major classifications which were:

(1) farm operators mainly owning land
(2) farm operators mainly renting land
(3) own-account workers on trade and industrial enterprises
(4) own-account workers on professional, technical and administrative enterprises
(5) professional, technical and administrative workers who worked for pay
(6) farm workers
(7) general workers
(8) clerical, sales and service workers
(9) production workers, and
(10) economically inactive households

In general, the household class was based on the princiapl source of livelihood and employment status of the chief income receiver, usually the household head. However, if the combined earnings of several members of the household represented the main source of livelihood, the classification was determined on the basis of the employment status of those memebers. For example, if a household operated a small farm but the earnings of the household members working off the farm as common labourers exceeded farm profits (including the value of home-produced and consumed products), the household was classified in the general worker group.
