General description

This dataset provides information on the religion of Welsh residents by their industry and gender.

The industry in which a person works relates to their main job, and is derived from information provided on the main activity of their employer or business. This is used to assign responses to an industry code based on the Standard Industrial Classification 2007.

For the 2011 Census, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on Census day 2011, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months. For more information see Weblinks.
The 2011 Census asks the question 'What is your sex?' The two possible answers are male or female.

The 2011 Census question on religion refers to a person's current religion, or if the person does not have a religion, 'no religion'. No determination is made about whether a person was a practicing member of a religion. Unlike other census questions where missing answers are imputed, this question was voluntary, and where no answer was provided the response is categorised as 'not stated'.
