Definition

These are the households in which the members of working age actually worked for less than 20% of their total work potential during the year prior to that of the interview (income reference period).
This calculates, on the one hand, the number of months in which the members of the household worked during the reference year, and on the other hand, the total months during which those same members theoretically could have worked. The ratio is calculated, and it is determined whether or not this is lower than 20%.
This variable is not applied in the case of persons age 60 years old and over.
