Měření sociálního statusu a sociálních tříd na základě povolání

Authors discuss the problem of standardization of measures of social status and social class in international comparative surveys. Apart from presenting occupational scales: occupational prestige SIOPS and socioeconomic status ISEI-08, the authors also discuss in detail the principles behind Goldthorpe’s EGP class schema and its successor European socio-economic classification ESeC/ESeG. The text also focuses on the new International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08), where special attention is paid to the new Czech version of CZ-ISCO.
