Industry (Former) - 10 Categories

Description

The industry classification of people who were not in employment in the week before Census Day (21 March 2021). The responses are coded to a modified version of the UK Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities 2007 - UK SIC (2007). Former industry is applicable to people aged 16 and over not in employment in the week before census (including economically active full-time students in employment). As such, this variable reports 'No code required' for the subset of the population where no response was expected.
