Definition
A household is a group of persons (or a single person) who usually live together and have a common arrangement for food, such as using a common kitchen or a common food budget. The persons may be related to each other or may be non-relatives, including servants or other employees, staying with the employer.
Students, boarders and employees residing in and having a common food arrangement with the household are considered members of the household if they have been in the household for more than a year or if they have no other place of residence.
However, if there are …(decide on the number say 5) or more boarders/lodgers in a housing unit, they should not be reported as members of the household. They are considered to be living in a dormitory or boarding house operated by the household.
Boarding houses with more than (number stipulated in the definition say 5) persons are considered to be institutional households. An institutional household is a group of (number stipulated in the definition say 5) or more unrelated persons living together. Other examples are military barracks, prisons, student dormitories, etc. Institutional households are not covered by the LFS 2002.
