This dataset is about Socio-economic Classification. It shows the workplace population in England and Wales by the National Statistics Socio-economic classification (NS-SeC). The workplace population is defined as the people aged 16 to 74 who are in employment and whose usual place of work is in the area. People with no fixed place of work are treated the same as people who work mainly at or from home and are counted as working in their area of residence. The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) was 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). The population of this dataset is all people aged 16 to 74 in employment in the area.
