OUTPUT


STANDARD OUTPUT CATEGORIES

23. Where the information is collected in sufficient detail, the standard output categories are:

	less than 1 hour/no hours 1 - 15 hours 16 - 24 hours 25 - 34 hours 35 - 39 hours 40 hours 41 - 48 hours 49 hours and over

24. However, these categories can be fully aggregated to:

<1hour/0 hours 1 - 34 hours 35 hours and over

25. Labour Force suggest a two-tiered approach to output with 9 major categories and further sub-categories (indented) to enable breakdown into 5 hour groups. Relevant categories could be used depending on the availability and quality of the data.

Suggested standard output categories for Labour Force data:

	0 hours
	1 - 15 hours
		1 - 5 hours
		6 - 10 hours
		11 - 15 hours
	16 - 29 hours
		16 - 20 hours
		21 - 24 hours
		25 - 29 hours
	30 - 34 hours
	35 - 39 hours
	40 hours
	41 - 44 hours
	45 - 49 hours
	50 hours and over
		50 - 54 hours
		55 - 59 hours
		60 - 64 hours
		65 hours and over

APPLICATION OF THE CLASSIFICATION TO OTHER VARIABLES

26. The classification's prime aim is to determine the number of hours worked in all jobs. However, it is also used to derive the variables 'Full-time/Part-time Status'.
