The family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children. Private households may be defined according to the 'housekeeping concept' , or, if this is not possible, Member States may apply the 'household-dwelling' concept. - Private household: The "household dwelling concept" is used to record private households. Current activity status' is the current relationship of a person to economic activity, based on a reference date. - Current activity status: Current activity status was established from a combination of census questionnaires and the Population Register. Any information missing from the questionnaire was taken from the Population Register, where available. Occupation' refers to the type of work done in a job (that is the main tasks and duties of the work). Persons doing more than one job are allocated an occupation based on their main job, which is identified according to the time spent on the job.

An 'employee' is a person who works in a 'paid employment' job, that is a job where the explicit or implicit contract of employment gives the incumbent a basic remuneration, which is independent of the revenue of the unit for which he/she works. The location of the place of work is the geographical area in which a currently employed person does his/her job. 'Educational attainment' refers to the highest level successfully completed in the educational system of the country where the education was received. All education which is relevant to the completion of a level is taken into account even if this was provided outside schools and universities.

Statistical concepts and definitions - Residence one year beforeThis indicates the relationship between the current place of usual residence and the place of usual residence one year prior to the census. Children under one year of age are classified under 'Not applicable'. - In Liechtenstein, no information was sought concerning "Usual residence one year prior to the census" The information was taken from the Population Register. 3.4.18.

This covers all persons who are usual residents in different types of living quarters, or who do not have a usual residence and stay temporarily in some type of living quarters, or who are roofless, sleeping rough or in emergency shelters, when the census is taken. The family nucleus is defined in the narrow sense, that is as two or more persons who belong to the same household and who are related as husband and wife, as partners in a consensual union, or as parent and child. Thus a family comprises a couple without children, or a couple with one or more children, or a lone parent with one or more children. This family concept limits relationships between children and adults to direct (first-degree) relationships, that is between parents and children.

The topic 'Tenure status of households' refers to the arrangements under which a private household occupies all or part of a housing unit. 'Conventional dwellings' are structurally separate and independent premises at fixed locations which are designed for permanent human habitation and are, at the reference date, either used as a residence, or vacant, or reserved for seasonal or secondary use. 'Occupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are the usual residence of one or more persons at the time of the census. 'Unoccupied conventional dwellings' are conventional dwellings which are not the usual residence of any person of the census population at the time of the census. - Information on "Dwellings reserved for seasonal or secondary use" and on "Vacant dwellings" was taken from the Building and Dwelling Register. 3.4.26. Statistical concepts and definitions - Type of ownershipThe topic 'Type of ownership' refers to the ownership of the dwelling and not to that of the land on which the dwelling stands. - Housing associations: At the time of the census, there were no housing associations in Liechtenstein. 3.4.27. Statistical concepts and definitions - Number of occupantsThe number of occupants of a housing unit is the number of people for whom the housing unit is the usual residence. 3.4.28. Statistical concepts and definitions - Useful floor spaceUseful floor space is defined as the floor space measured inside the outer walls excluding non-habitable cellars and attics and, in multi-dwelling buildings, all common spaces; or the total floor space of rooms falling under the concept of 'room'. A 'room' is defined as a space in a housing unit enclosed by walls reaching from the floor to the ceiling or roof, of a size large enough to hold a bed for an adult (4 square metres at least) and at least 2 metres high over the major area of the ceiling. - The number of rooms includes all rooms within a home, such as living rooms, bedrooms, playrooms, etc. which, taken as a whole, form the home. Kitchens, bathrooms, shower rooms, toilets, cubby-holes, corridors, box rooms, verandas and separate rooms outside the main house are not counted. 3.4.30. Statistical concepts and definitions - Density standard (floor space)The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. - Density standard: For Liechtenstein, the density standard was defined on the basis of the "useful floor space" and the "number of rooms". 3.4.31. Statistical concepts and definitions - Density standard (number of rooms)The topic ‘Density standard’ relates the useful floor space in square metres or the number of rooms to the number of occupants, as specified under the topic 'Number of occupants'. - Density standard: For Liechtenstein, the density standard was defined on the basis of the "useful floor space" and the "number of rooms". 3.4.32.

|
|||
12.1. Quality assurance | |||
The second-pair-of-eyes principle is used for statistical publications. This means that a second person checks the draft of each statistical publication for quality before it is published. Control calculations and comparisons with the previous year are also carried out. |
|||
12.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
Overall, the quality of the questionnaire data and the data from the Population Register can be considered high. The response rate for the questionnaires was very high with 98.0%, and most of them were completed carefully, correctly and in full. |
|||
12.2.1. Coverage assessment | |||
The permanent population figure obtained by the census corresponds to that obtained from the population statistics. There was therefore no over- or under-recording compared to the population statistics. The population statistics reflect the residents registered with the local authorities and thus the administrative reality. Over-recording can happen if people moving abroad do not de-register. This group includes, inter alia, students abroad, who generally keep Liechtenstein as their place of residence. Under-recording is also possible, for example in the case of people residing illegally or without registering for more than one year in Liechtenstein. |
|||
