</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>1. The Family Resources Survey is a nationally
representative sample of UK households.</p><p>2. The figures from the Family Resources
Survey are based on a sample of households which have been adjusted for non-response
using multi-purpose grossing factors which align the Family Resources Survey to former
Government Office Region population by age and sex. Estimates based on survey data
are subject to uncertainty due to sampling error and remaining non-response error.</p><p>3.
The figures presented are three-year averages due to relatively small sample sizes
of married couples available for some countries in individual years.</p><p>4. Data
are rounded to the nearest ten thousand or 1 per cent.</p><p>5. Percentages in Table
2 are calculated by dividing the number of married couples where one adult is in employment
by the total number of married couples (i.e. those couples where one, both or neither
is employed).</p>
