5 | address who have the address as their only or main residence and either | |||||||
6 | share one main meal a day or share living accommodation (or both). | |||||||
7 | ||||||||
8 | For the purposes of this bulletin, estimates only include those households with at least | |||||||
9 | one person aged 16 to 64. | |||||||
10 | ||||||||
11 | A workless household is a household that includes at least one person aged 16 to 64 | |||||||
12 | where no-one aged 16 or over is in employment. | |||||||
13 | ||||||||
14 | Children refers to all children under 16. | |||||||
15 | ||||||||
16 | Dependent children are children aged under 16 and those aged 16 to 18 who | |||||||
17 | have never-married and in full-time education. | |||||||
18 | ||||||||
19 | The other household types columns in tables B, G and L refer to households which | |||||||
20 | contain two or more family units, or two or more people belonging to separate family units. | |||||||
21 | ||||||||
22 | The household reference person is the householder, i.e.. the person who: | |||||||
23 | ||||||||
24 | a) owns the household accommodation, or | |||||||
25 | b) is legally responsible for the rent of the accommodation, or | |||||||
26 | c) has the household accommodation as an emolument or perquisite, or | |||||||
27 | d) has the household accommodation by virtue of some relationship to the owner who is | |||||||
28 | not a member of the household. | |||||||
29 | If there are joint householders the household reference person will be the one with the | |||||||
30 | highest income. If their income is the same, then the eldest householder is taken. | |||||||
31 | ||||||||
32 | Seasonality | |||||||
33 | ||||||||
34 | None of the figures in this release can be seasonally adjusted because the LFS | |||||||
35 | household datasets are available for April-June and October-December quarters only. In | |||||||
36 | order to carry out seasonal adjustment data would have to be available for each quarter. | |||||||
