Gross pay refers to gross weekly earnings from the main job but excludes the small number of respondents (N = 36) with abnormally high pay (over £100 per hour) in accordance with government instructions on collection of earnings data. Continuous weekly income pertains to take-home income for cohort member and partner as derived from banded incomes (1 = under 25 … 16 = more than 1,400).
