National Statistics Socio-economic Classification - 12 Categories
Description
The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) indicates a person's socio-economic position based on their occupation and other job characteristics. Full-time students are recorded in the 'full-time students' category regardless of whether they are economically active. This variable is applicable to people aged 16 and over. As such, this variable reports 'No code required' for the subset of the population where no response was expected. This variable uses information from the 'Ever worked' question in the census.
