Family
13 variables 5 rolesA 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
