8.7 Summary of content error analysis<br />

The characteristics 'population group', 'age' and 'sex' show a low level of variability between the census<br />

and the <strong>PES</strong>. They can be expected to be measured reliably from survey to survey. The variables<br />

'relationship to head of household', 'marital status' (combining categories)' show a moderate level of<br />

variability, which might be indicative of a need for clearer concept definitions and wording, and more<br />

probing.<br />
