nCube definition
This classification of industry is that used by the 2011 Census,
and forms the basic for our standardisation of historical information on
industrial structure.
The modern data are a classification of workers by their employers'
business and count them by their place of work.
However, before 1951 they are counted by place of residence, and
before 1921 workers have to be classified by their individual
occupations.
Here we break the numbers in each industry down by gender, but this
is not possible with the 2011 dat...
a, only with the re-districted and
re-classified historical statisics.
