nCube : Persons aged 15+ by Sex & Irish 1841/51 Occupational Classification

nCubes hold all the statistics presented by the Vision of Britain system, and are defined as combinations of variables. For example, the age-sex tables that appear in most census reports are held as two-dimensional nCubes in which one dimension is a variable categorising sex and the other variable defines a set of age groups. nCubes can have many dimensions, such as age by sex by occupation by cause of death, or just one.

Text:

While the 1841 Census of Great Britain made no attempt to classify occupations, and consequently listed occupations for the main towns only, the Irish Census of 1841 constructed a simple 8-way classification organised around different human needs, or "Wants". This enabled the Census to present occupational information for every parish. The same classification was used in 1851.
