Family

13 variables 5 roles

A Family represents a collection of related persons.

Family entities are required for calculations across a number of entitlements including for example "Working for families" and "Paid Parental Leave"

A family can contain a number of roles, such as 'principal_caregiver', 'partner' & 'child'.

For more information on entities, see: http://openfisca.org/doc/coding-the-legislation/50_entities.html

Families can have multiple principle_caregivers but as each entitlement is calculated in relation to the Principle Caregiver it is recommended for modelling to create multiple family sets per caregiver to describe each scenario
