Variable : Industry Sector

Variables serve as the dimensions of nCubes, and are generally based on the questions on forms such as the census schedule. However, in the aggregate data held in the Vision of Britain system we do not store the individual responses but counts of the number of each kind of response, so variables are made up of categories, such as age groups.

Text:
These five "Sectors" were defined by the GB Historical GIS as a further simplification of the 2007 Standard Industrial Classification, as the Census Small Area Statistcs available from 1971, 1991 and 2001 do not enable a sub-division of services. 1981 data cannot be included as they do not separate out mining.
