Notes
The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) has been introduced by the Government to replace Social Class based on Occupation (also known as the Registrar General's Social Class) and Socio-Economic Groups (SEG). For more information see the National Statistics website at www.statistics.gov.uk/nsbase/methods_quality/ns_sec. Economically active full-time students are coded as 'full-time students'.
