ilbwt26 - Cross-sectional labour weight for person

Top of Page

• Type and length: Decimal(10.4) Format: 99999.9999
• Description: Cross-sectional weight for the person, adjusted for non-response to questions on non-income variables such as labour market activity and education. It is adjusted for more cases of non-response than is the regular cross-sectional weight (ICSWT26), thereby minimizing the percentage of persons with missing values ("Don't know") after weighting. Nonetheless, there is still a relatively high proportion of missing values, because weight status is determined at the household level in SLID, rather than at the individual level. Most recent revisions: With the release of data for 2003, the weights were revised for 1990 to 2002. With the release of data for 2004, the weights were revised for 2003.

Top of Page

• Type and length: Character(2.0)
• Description: Relationship of person to major income earner in the census family during the reference year. Categories 07 through 10 may or may not apply to census families depending on the census family definition in use by the survey for that year. That is, they apply only if the definition allows for guardian relationships within the same census family. Guardian relationships are identified when there is a child under 16 with no parent present but with some other relative to the child present. Categories 03 and 04 do not apply because, in the current SLID definition of a census family, a person living in a census family with his or her parent cannot be identified as the major income earner of that family.
