| notes | In households containing a 'de facto spouse' of the head of household, in which the LS member is the head or the de facto spouse, or a child of either of these, the variables referring to head of family and wife/mother are filled as if the head and de facto spouse were a married couple. This indicator shows who these variables apply to and their family statuses. |
