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

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'.
