Définition

A reference person of a family is the oldest member of the family who is in a relationship and is
economically active (employed or unemployed).

In a couple, the reference person is the active partner, or, if both are active, the older partner. In a single-parent family, the reference person is the parent if active or if no children are active; otherwise, the oldest active child.
