French term or phrase: NSP

This appears in a table of percentages of people in certain age ranges:
de 41 a 50 = 15%
de 51 a 60 = 9%
+ de 60 = 4%
NSP= 23%
inconnu = 10%

I thought it might be "non-specifie", but then would there also be a category of "inconnu"?

Ne Sait Pas

Explanation:
I ran across NSP in surveys and it is translated by Does Not Know (DNK). Although I admit it seems a little strange that someone does not know their age and it probably means does not want to say but the common NSP is used instead.
