descriptiongeneralThe countries of birth of a person's father and mother were coded using an 12-category classification, taking values 0-11, instead of the more detailed classification for the person themself because it was felt that the answers on the census form were likely to be less accurate.
descriptionlsIn addition to the Census classification for father's and mother's place of birth, the LS also includes a variable, POBP7, which contains the combination of both parents' countries of birth, using codes in the range 0 to 15.
