National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification - Origins, Development and Use

Informationen zum Autor The OFFICE FOR NATIONAL STATISTICS (ONS) is the government department that provides UK statistical and registration services. ONS is responsible for producing a wide range of key economic and social statistics which are used by policy makers across government to create evidence-based policies and monitor performance against them. The Office also builds and maintains data sources both for itself and for its business and research customers. It makes statistics available so that everyone can easily assess the state of the nation! the performance of government! and their own position. Zusammenfassung Produced jointly by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Office for National Statistics, this comprehensive report work describes the background to the development of the NS-SEC, including how it was rebased to take account of the new Standard Occupational Classification of 2000. It will be invaluable for anyone using statistics based on NS-SEC or implementing the classification into a new data collection, and for anyone researching generally in the social sciences. Written by David Rose and David J Pevalin (with Karen O'Reilly) of the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, this is the final report on the work of the Economic and Social Research Council Review of Government Social Classifications.
