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