These data were collected from the 2001 Census, Standard Tables. This table provides information in numbers and percentages on Gender and Approximate Social Grade by Age. A person who carried out paid work in the week before the Census, whether self-employed or an employee, is described as employed or in employment. ‘Paid work’ includes casual or temporary work, even if only for one hour; being on a government-sponsored training scheme; being away from a job/business ill, on maternity leave, on holiday or temporarily laid off; or doing paid or unpaid work for their own or family business. A person’s occupation is coded from the responses to the questions asking for the full title of the main job and the description of what is done in that job. The main job is the job in which a person usually works the most hours. Questions on employment related to each person’s main job.
