Income status of person, level

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Income status' refers to the position of a person or household's income in relation to a low income line.

Note: In the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), low-income statistics are presented based on the after-tax low-income measure (LIM-AT). This measure is not related to the low-income cut-offs (LICO) presented in the 2006 Census and prevalence rates are conceptually not comparable.

'Person' refers to an individual and is the unit of analysis for most social statistics programmes.
