Description
Definition
This variable indicates the socio-economic group of the person or the person's "supporter." The variable reports the actual group for people who were economically active. Economically inactive children reported the group of the household head or working parent, if the head did not work. Other household members reported they were inactive if they were retired or self-supporting non-workers; otherwise they reported the group of the household head.
