Description
Target group profiles (TGP) provide Census and NHS Profile variables for a subset, or target group, of the population. In this TGP, the target group is the population of immigrants whose period of immigration falls within the five years prior to May, 2011.
Notes
- This table contains Census variables taken from the NHS database.
- The recent immigrant population includes those who responded "Yes" to question 11 from the NHS questionnaire, and who became a landed immigrant within the five years preceding the NHS (based on question 12).
- Target group profiles (TGPs) provide data for a specific group of persons (a "target group"). All variables in the target group profile relate to these persons: their age, their gender, their family status (e.g. are they in a census family), the languages they speak, and so on. Because TGPs deal with the universe of persons, they do not contain any family- or household-specific variables. For example, the number of census families in private households does not relate to a person, but to a family, and so it is not included in TGPs.
