Adult Lifestage - 13 Categories

Description

Adult Lifestage classifies adults in households by age, whether they live in a one or two-or-more-person household, and whether they share a household with any dependent children. Adult Lifestage applies to all people aged 16 and over living in households. As such, this variable reports 'No code required' for the subset of the population where no response was expected. An adult is defined as anyone aged 16 and over. A 'dependent child' is a person in a household aged 0-15 (whether or not in a family) or a person aged 16-18 who is a full-time student and in a family with parent(s).
