FIP individuals

[AlexisEidelman]

Sometimes, an individual can be on someone else income declaration but lives with him.

The case of spouses living apart doesn't occur frequently in common database so we can consider these individuals are only children.

There is two kind of children :

• young adult, living apart from their parent but without income. They still dependant of their parents and can be considered a part of their family, for social benefits for example. Note they are students, in general. Sometimes they live in campus so can't be in traditional surveys. They can also get some housing benefit and realise some optimisation to be out of the family (with small income, they can reduce the RSA amount for example).
• young children. It should be checked during the microsimulation, but they often live with only one of their parents. Sometimes parents make some fiscal optimisation, putting a child on one parent declaration even if he actually lives with the other one. From the benefit system, that child is linked with the parent he lives with, so even if he is on his or her declaration, he can't provide any family benefit to the parent he doesn't live with.

Last, note you can have many of these children of age 0. They are not in the previous situation, they were simply born the same year but after the survey. These ones should be considered as part of family.
