Resources
During this project we have generated many resources which we feel are of wider benefit to occupational researchers. These can be downloaded from this page. At present these resources are in Stata format. We are currently working on producing the resources in other formats.

Most of these resources can be found Geode - Grid Enabled Occupational Data Environment. GEODE serves to collate and distribute occupational resources for the benefit of social science research. For a richer source of occupational research resources, visit http://www.geode.stir.ac.uk/ Please contact Dave Griffiths or Paul Lambert if you have any questions or comments regarding these files.

Microclass conversion files

 These resources enable occupational data to be converted into the Microclass scheme, as documented in: Jonsson, Jan O., David B. Grusky, Matthew Di Carlo, Reinhard Pollak, and Mary C. Brinton. 2009. "Microclass Mobility: Social Reproduction in Four Countries", American Journal of Sociology, Volume 114, Number 4.

Microclass labels (historical)

Stata .do files for analysing occupational structure

Converting occupational connections to Pajek

This file predicts an expected number of marriage pairings between members of occupational unit groups, based on the numbers of male and females in each job. The actual number of pairings, and the value of over/under-representation is also calculated. If this data is used to drop marriage pairings under certain thresholds of frequency or value of over/under-representation, a text outsheet of the male and female occupation can be saved as a matrix for use in Pajek and other social network analysis software.
http://www.camsis.stir.ac.uk/sonocs/do/pajek.do

Convering occupational connections to Pajek using educational qualifications

This file splits occupational unit groups into graduate members and non-graduate members by adding 10,000 to the code for graduates.
http://www.camsis.stir.ac.uk/sonocs/do/uniocc.do

Identifying percentage of graduates within occupations

This file obtains the percentage of graduates within an occupational unit group amongst different age groups from Ipums_international data. This enables researchers to construct their own versions of the SOC(HE) scheme, created by Peter Eilas and Kate Purcell in SOC (HE): A classification of occupations for studying the graduate labour market, Researching Graduate Careers Seven Years On research paper no.6, Peter Elias and Kate Purcell, March 2004. (Available at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ier/research/completed/7yrs2/rp6.pdf)
http://www.camsis.stir.ac.uk/sonocs/do/occ_soche.do

Grouping individuals by age

This file groups individuals from Ipums-International datasets into the following age-groups. http://www.camsis.stir.ac.uk/sonocs/do/agegr.do

IPUMS International occupational labels

 These files enable occupation labels to be automatically generated for surveys found within IPUMS International.

The command files for IPUMS can become confused if you are downloading multiple samples. For instance, if you download the 1991 and 2001 UK data in the same download, the value "111", in the variable "occ", refers to "authors, writer, journalists", for the 1991 data and "corporate managers and senior officals", in the 2001 data. These files enable the correct labels to be easily attached.

These files can be run from their online address, or downloaded to a computer. To run them automatically online, the command syntax is :
do "http://www.camsis.stir.ac.uk/sonocs/occ_labels/county_year_occ_labels.do"

The country is always the two digit internet domain version. The year is always four digit. We hope this standard will enable researchers to easily obtain labels if working on multiple datasets.

Notes

Missing datasets

The following countries and time-points have occ data available on IPUMS but we are yet to generate the occ_labels .do file. We intend to make them available online soon to enable this resource to be comprehensive. Please contact Dave Griffiths if you have any questions or comments regarding this files.
