INTRODUCTION

The household and family data items detail the household and family characteristics of people in the Labour Force Survey. They can inform social based analysis, and the interdependencies of family relationships can help to provide insight into labour force characteristics.

Household and family characteristics are not collected in special dwellings (see Residence Status [URSTATC]).

In private dwellings, household and family characteristics are provided at all three levels; Household/Dwelling, Family, and Person. For more information on the levels in the CURFs hierarchical structure, see Level Structure and Identifiers.

For more information on families and how ABS defines household and family characteristics, refer to the publication Family, Household and Income Unit Variables, 2005 (cat. no. 1286.0).

This section contains the following subsection :

Household/Dwelling level characteristics
