2. The totals do not coincide exactly with other published statistics. This is due to the different data sources.
3. Gross weekly income includes rent and rate rebates, and is the income reported in 1981 without any updating.
4. An 'out of work family' is defined as one where neither parent is in full-time employment or self-employment, except that families where the head has been sick or unemployed for less than 3 months are excluded.
5. The figures exclude any families not living in private households.
