7 Definitions Economic activity Economic activity relates to whether or not a person who was aged 16 to 74 was working or looking for work in the week before census. Rather than a simple indicator of whether or not someone was currently in employment, it provides a measure of whether or not a person was an active participant in the labour market. A person's economic activity is derived from their 'Activity last week'. This is an indicator of their status or availability for employment whether employed, actively looking for work, waiting to start a new job, available to start a new job, or their status if not employed or not seeking employment. Additional information included in the economic activity classification is also derived from information about the number of hours a person works and their type of employment whether employed or self employed. The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status. Economically active A person aged 16 to 74 is described as economically active if, in the week before the census, they were: in employment, as an employee of self employed not in employment, but were seeking work and ready to start work within two weeks, or not in employment, but waiting to start a job already obtained and available. Full time students who fulfil any of these criteria are classified as economically active and are counted separately in the 'Full time student' category of economically active they are not included in any of the other categories such as employees or unemployed. Economically inactive A person aged 16 to 74 is described as economically inactive if, in the week before the census, they were not in employment but did not meet the criteria to be classified as Unemployed' This includes a person looking for work but not available to start work within two weeks, as well as anyone not looking for work, or unable to work for example retired, looking after home/family, permanently sick or disabled. Students who fulfil any of these criteria are also classified as economically inactive. This does not necessarily mean in full time education and excludes students who were working or in some other way were economically active. Employed (In employment) A person aged 16 to 74 is defined as employed (or in employment) if in the week before the census they carried out at least one hour's paid work, either as an employee or self employed. This includes casual or temporary work, on a government sponsored training scheme, doing paid or unpaid work for their own or family business, being away from work ill, on maternity leave, or on holiday or temporarily laid off. Full time student A full time student is a person of any age who has indicated that they are a schoolchild or student in full time education. Schoolchildren and students in full time education studying away from their family home are treated as usually resident at their term time address. Full time working Working full time is defined as working 31 hours or more per week. This applies to the number of hours a person aged 16 to 74 in employment in the week before the census worked in their main job, and includes paid and unpaid overtime. Long term unemployed Working full time is defined as working 31 hours or more per week. This applies to the number of hours a person aged 16 to 74 in employment in the week before the census worked in their main job, and includes paid and unpaid overtime.

8 Main job The 'Main job' of a person aged 16 to 74 is the job in which they usually work the most hours. For people not working at the time of the census the main job relates to the person's last job. Topics based on employment all relate to a person s main job. Part time working Working part time is defined as working 30 hours or less per week. This applies to the number of hours a person aged 16 to 74 in employment in the week before the census worked in their main job, and includes paid and unpaid overtime. Unemployed A person aged 16 to 74 is classified as unemployed if they are not in employment, are available to start work in the next two weeks, and either looked for work in the last four weeks or are waiting to start a new job. Usual resident The main population base for outputs from the is the usual resident population as at census day 27 March. Although the population base for enumeration included non UK short term residents, this population is analysed separately and is not included in the main outputs from the. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using only usual residents of the UK. For purposes, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months. Industry The industry in which a person aged 16 to 74 works relates to their main job, and is derived from information provided on the main activity of their employer or business. This is used to assign responses to an industry code based on the Standard Industrial Classification Occupation A person's occupation relates to their main job and is derived from either their job title or details of the activities involved in their job. This is used to assign responses to an occupation code based on the Standard Occupational Classification 2010 (SOC2010). National Statistics Socio economic Classification (NS SEC) The National Statistics Socio economic Classification (NS SEC) provides an indication of socio economic position based on occupation. It is an Office for National Statistics standard classification. To assign a person aged 16 to 74 to an NS SEC category their occupation title is combined with information about their employment status, whether they are employed or self employed and whether or not they supervise other employees. Full time students are recorded in the' full time students' category regardless of whether they are economically active or not. The rebased version of NS SEC used in census results uses occupation coded to SOC2010. More information about the classification can be found at method/classifications/current standard classifications/soc2010/soc2010 volume 3 ns sec rebased on soc2010 user manual/index.html. In results, because the census did not ask a question about the number of employees at a person's workplace, the reduced method of deriving NS SEC (which does not require this information) is used. NS SEC, Not classifiable for other reasons Not classifiable for other reasons' includes any people who cannot be allocated to another category. NS SEC, Not classified The sub category of NS SEC Occupation not stated or inadequately described which usually forms part of the 'Not classified' category is not applicable in census results because missing answers are imputed.
