Contents >> Family composition >> Appendix A - Correspondence tables between the Family Type classification and the Family Composition classification

Note that there is no correspondence listed between 'Family composition' and the 4-digit level of 'Family type', as 'Family composition' does not differentiate families according to the criterion for the 4-digit level of 'Family type', which is the presence or absence of 'other related individuals'.

Note 1: in cases where multiple codes are listed under 'Family composition', it is not necessary to specify at which level of the classification the correspondence is made, as all levels of those listed categories are identical in content.

Note 1: in cases marked with an asterisk, it is possible to code data categorised to the 'Family composition' classification to either of the listed 'Family type' categories as the information is insufficient to select between the 'Family type' categories.

Note 2: in other cases where multiple codes are listed under 'Family type', it is not necessary to specify at which level of the classification the correspondence is made, as all levels of those listed categories are identical in content.
