Description
To be a ‘child in a family nucleus’, a person must have usual residence with at least one parent, and have no partner or child(ren) of their own living in the same household. Child(ren) in a family nucleus are divided into two sub-groups: “Dependent Child(ren)” and “Adult Child(ren)". Note that ‘child(ren) in a family nucleus’ can be a person of any age. Also note that for the purposes of the Number of Children classification (NUMCHILD V1.0), only 'children in a family nucleus' are counted as children.
