Economic activity status describes whether or not a person was working or looking for work in the week before census. A person can be employed, unemployed (and actively seeking work) or economically inactive (and not actively seeking work). 
Respondents on COVID-related furlough schemes at the time were instructed to classify themselves as employed in their census response but ONS research suggests that this advice was not always followed.
