RLGP	Relationship in Household (including grandchildren)	*June release*

	Describes the relationship of each person in a family to the family reference person or, where a person is not part of a family, that person's relationship to the household reference person. For the purposes of the variable, grandchildren including those aged 15 years and over are classified as a child. This variable differs from RLHP (Relationship in Household) in that it recognises grandchildren as a child type, regardless of age. Grandparent-grandchild relationships are recognised as a parent-child relationship rather than an 'other family' type relationship. This variable can only be used in conjunction with other related grandparent/grandchild classifications. It cannot be used with standard family classifications. Data available on request. See also Child Type (including grandchildren) (CTGP), Grandparent Families (FMGF).
