This dataset provides 2001 Census estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 to 74 in households in England and Wales by sex and economic activity by living arrangements. The estimates are as at census day, 29 April 2001.

For the Census, part-time is defined as working 30 hours or less a week. Full-time is defined as working 31 or more hours a week.

The living arrangements variable is different to marital status. It combines information from both marital status and the relationship matrix. Therefore a person living as part of a 'cohabiting couple' could in fact be married (to someone else) but will not appear as married or separated in this classification.

Cohabiting couples includes same sex couples.
