Methodological Notes

  • When constructing the derived variables EF657 to EF669, the characteristic "Spouse or partner of reference person in the household" mentioned in the variable label was obviously not used, but "Spouse or partner of reference person in the family/living arrangement " (EF514=2). The variables labels of the derived variables EF657 to EF669 were therefore changed to "(...) spouse or partner of reference person in the family/living arrangement ". (Label change: February 2019).
