What is the function of the "Foreign National" checkbox on the Basic Profile screen?

In South Africa, a Foreign National is a person who is not a naturalized citizen of the country in which they are living.

The "Foreign National " checkbox has an impact on the Employment Equity reports only (The Nationality and Citizenship fields do not have an impact on Employment Equity reporting)).
