UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Scope of the variable 7. 'Principal source of cash income' applies to all persons, income units, families and households reporting a positive value for 'Total cash income'. SUPPORTING VARIABLES 8. In the HES and SIHC, 'Principal source of cash income' is derived from cash income data collected on a source by source basis. In surveys using the modules that elicit principal source, only those reporting cash income from more than one source are sequenced to the principal source question. For those reporting just one source, that is their principal source. Because derivation of 'Principal source of cash income' for income units, families and households also requires income values collected for 'Sources of cash income', it can only occur in surveys using the Full module.
