'ESeC'
Between 2004 and 2006 I worked with Professor David Rose and a cross-national research team to develop a socio-economic classification for use by Eurostat. Though this has not yet been adopted, the principle of a single mapping from the International Standard Classification of Occupations (with supplementary labour market information) to a social class schema is widely accepted in principle by academics and statisticians. Our instrument - based on the theoretical model of employment relations which underlies the Erikson-Goldthorpe-Portocarrero (EGP) scheme - can be derived from both ISCO88 and ISCO08, the most recent revision.
In 2006 we produced a User Guide to the classification based on ISCO88. In the wake of the revision by ILO of the International Classification, Eurostat set up a task group to create a classification based on harmonised core variables. I have recently revisited the ESeC issue in the context of the new ISCO and now make these materials available for other interested users. Please contact me [[email protected]] with comments and any errors or anomalies you find, I'm always interested to know how ESeC is being used.
