Definition of a household
A household is defined as a group of persons who share
the same living accommodation, who pool some, or all,
of their income and wealth and who consume certain
types of goods and services collectively, mainly housing
and food.
Members of the same household do not necessarily
have to belong to the same family so long as there is
some sharing of resources and consumption.
Students who study away from home are still part of a
household.
Excluded are:
Hired domestic staff who live on the same premises;
People who live permanently in institutions (religious orders,
mental hospitals, prisons, retirement);
