Variable Group : Industry

Variable Groups are used to group together closely related variables. Under the DDI each system of categories is defined as a separate variable, so for example a variable categorising ages into five year bands running up to '95 and over' is a separate variable from one giving ages to '100 and up'. However, we group these into a single Variable Group covering ages.

Text:
This variable group brings together the different systems used for classifying enterprises by what they made or did. The first census to separate occupations, i.e. how a particular person made their living, and industries was that of 1921, so we often have to derive an industrial classification from an occupational one.
