1. The sum of persons with a working or non-working spouse does not add up to the total number of persons with spouses since certain spouses may have been outside the target group. 2. The question concerning education status is not asked for persons 65 and over. For this reason, the sum of the totals based on education status for "non-family persons" and "son, daughter and other related person living in the family" is not exactly equal to the total number of persons for those two categories.
