Description

This method returns Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over by National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC).

The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC) indicates a person's socio-economic position based on their occupation and other job characteristics.

It is an Office for National Statistics standard classification. NS-SEC categories are assigned based on a person's occupation, whether employed, self-employed, or supervising other employees.

Full-time students are recorded in the "full-time students" category regardless of whether they are economically active.

The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.
