PRESENTING THE DATA

STANDARD OUTPUT CATEGORIES

'Sources of income' can be output at any level of the classification supported by reported data.

The minimum standard output categories are:

    • Employee income
    • Unincorporated business income
    • Government pensions and allowances
    • Other income

Since a person, income unit, family or household may have income from more than one of these sources, estimates of the total number of people receiving income for the four categories will sum to a number greater than the total population and consequently proportions for the four categories will sum to greater than 100%.
