Households are grouped into age groups according to the age of the major income earner as identified by the SFS. This differs from the OECD definition of the reference person for a household, which requires applying a number of characteristic criteria to each member of each household. The age group categories used are: under 35, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, and 65 and over.
