ESS-net EseG

The ESSnet EseG project works on a comprehensive European socioeconomic classification with the input of NSIs and researchers. Prototypes are being developed, tested, and refined through methodology consultations and international workshops.

  1. ESS-net EseG Elaborating a European socio economic Classication for the ESS Where we stand

  2. The ESSnet EseG project (reminder) • An ESSnet was launched on October 21st 2011 • coordinated by INSEE with the NSIs from Italy, the Czech Republic and Hungary, for two years, • in order to elaborate a European socioeconomic Group (EseG) classification. • Building on previous works • the ESEC prototype (2004-2006) built up by a consortium of researchers for DG Research • and its evaluation (2006-2009) by Eurostat • Using Isco08 (2digits) and the core variables from European surveys (status of employment and activity –NACE)

  3. The ESSnet EseG project : the method • The ESSnet has now obtained access to microdata from the main European surveys for almost every European country: • - LFS, with ad hoc modules • - SILC and AES • - other surveys like EWCS and ESS are also used • - Transition tables from ISCO-88 to ISCO-08 • (necessary because micro data in new classification will only be available lately - 2011 data) • These data are to be used • to elaborate several prototypes of classifications • - exploring different options • - essentially by crossing known elements on employment status and activity • to test the discriminating power of such prototypes in a wide set of thematic domains • Reports and studies in order to • explain and codify the new classification • show the main features of a description of the European society through such a classification

  4. The ESSnet EseG project : first steps and methods • Kick-Off meeting: 14-15th of November 2011 • Budapest meeting: 20-21th of February 2011 • International Workshop of researchers: 19th of June 2012 • Eurostat Workshop on classifications: 7-8th of November • Rome meeting: in November 2012 • Interim report: by the end of 2012 • Methodology • top-down approach privileged (but bottom-up approach also explored if possible) • 2, 3 or 4 prototypes will be elaborated • only one prototype will be selected in the end, but a more detailed 2-digit version will also be developped - other variables may also be mobilized (such as supervision or the size of the enterprise)- in order to offer the possibility of other groupings • This would allow to reconcile different points of view on the relevant aggregated levels.

  5. The ESSnet EseG project : collaborations and consultations • A large consultation, with the 27 NSIs… • A questionnaire sent and received from the 27 NSIs to know the MS contexts about Socio economic Classifications (january 2012) • (12 NSIs describe a classification, most often based on occupation, Status of employment and qualification, even if this term has not exactly always the same sense) • A questionnaire sent to know how occupation and economic activity are coded in the main European surveys (LFS, EUSILC, AES) (may 2012). • A third consultation to come on prototypes for testing (contact through Classification working group in december 2012) …and with researchers and potential users of the classification Collaborations with researchers : • Some NSIs are now working with research laboratories (Fr, Cz, It) • Presentation of the project to ESAC

  6. The ESSnet EseG project : consultations • International workshop in Paris in June 2012. • - 20 participants from different countries (sociologists, statisticians…) • - and from different schools of thought, even from the previous ESEC - They gave us good ideas and useful ways of working • - They wish to keep in touch with us • A request for amendment , • Much work has been done and, so far, the planned schedule has been respected • But the unavaibility of some European data (LFS 2011) before the end of the 2012 does not allow to use ISCO08-3digits in the elaboration of prototypes. • This is why we ask to extend the duration of the grant agreement for 6 months. • This extension will give more time to elaborate and to test prototypes.

  7. Some data to illustrate the importance of the subject • - The employed population is quite heterogeneous in Europe • -And yet we can draw a map of major social groups (here, only the employed) • -You can also use this nomenclature to read other societal dimensions (here limitations in activity generated by health problems)

  8. Some data to illustrate the importance of the subject – Europe : a heterogenous society • More than 20% of farmers in Romania, 11% in Poland and only 1% in the United Kingdom 36% of self-employed in Greece, less than 10% in Sweden and in Denmark

  9. Mapping of major groups of Isco (Results of multivariate analysis, only with the employed) Actives variables :level of training, stability in employment, average worked hours , activity….. Here 9 major groups of Isco 08 (1 digit) all over Europe are shown. The first axis distinguishes between those most qualified, managers(Isco08=1) or professionals(Isco08=2)and the less qualified, services ans sales workers (Isco08=5) and elementary occupations(Isco08=9). The second axis opposes industrial jobs (Isco 8=8 or 7) and clerical support workers (Isco08=4). It also makes the disctincion between male-dominated jobs rather and jobs dominated by women.

  10. "professionals" (Isco 08=2) from all countries in Europe are gathered in the same area, indicating the relevance of this approach

  11. Other societal dimensions can be read through a socioeconomic nomenclature Only 5% of managers and professionals (ISCO 08 = 1 or 2) having a chronic disease state heavily restricted in their activity by this health problem. This percentage rises to 14% in elementary occupations (Isco08 = 9).
