               Information on material deprivation applies at household level and refers to the household as a whole.
            
            
               The age refers to the age at the end of the income reference period.

               For variables applying at individual level, the mode of data collection is personal interview with all current household members aged 16 and over or, if applicable, with each selected respondent.
