Guide for use: | This metadata item is measured using relationships in respect of a household reference person. Relationships in the household are determined by establishing the relationship between this household reference person and each other member of the household in turn. The household reference person may be determined in a variety of ways. For example, it could be the person first listed on a form ('Person 1'), or the oldest person in the household, or the community services client. In measuring the types of relationships that exist between persons in a household, we must recognise that there may not be any familial relationship. Thus, there must be a category for persons who are non-related. Adopted relationships are treated as natural relationships. CODE 2 Lone parent: should be used where a person has no spouse or partner present in the household but who forms a parent-child relationship with at least one dependent or non-dependent child who is usually resident in the household. CODE 8 Not stated/inadequately described: is not for use on primary collection forms. It is primarily for use in administrative collections when transferring data from data sets where the item has not been collected. All the levels of the ABS classification have been adopted for this metadata item. Individual agencies may wish to classify 'Relationship in household' at the highest 1-digit level using the 2- or 3-digit level as a guide. |

Collection methods: | Collecting these data is quite complex, due to inter-relationships that may exist in a household. Refer to ABS Standards for Statistics on the Family, ABS Catalogue No. 1286.0 for details of interviewer or self enumerated collection methods. |
Comments: | For the purposes of this metadata item the term child refers to the relationship to the reference person and not a person under 15 years of age. |
