i_young_person_depend_code en-NZ
Label
Dependent young person indicator en-NZ
Description

This variable identifies the dependency status of a young person in a family nucleus. It is a derived variable. The variable indicates whether an individual is either a ‘dependent child under 18’, a ‘dependent young person or non-dependent child’, or a ‘child of unknown dependency status’.


The indicator classifications can be used stand-alone or applied to the standard classifications of:

  • Family type
  • Household composition.

A dependent young person is a ‘person in a family nucleus’ aged 18–24 years who is not employed full time. The concept of child dependency was extended in 2008 to encompass individuals aged 18–24 who were children in a family nucleus and not working full time.

For classification see Ariā.

Please note that there may be differences in definitions between census classifications and those used for other data collections.
