This variable reflects the Standard International Socio-Economic Index of Occupational Status for all employed persons. The ISEI Index was developed in 1992 by Ganzeboom, De Graaf, Treiman, and De Leew based on information about income, education, and occupation. Technically, ISEI was created by scaling the ISCO-88 classification. The values for the variable range between 16 and 90. In contrast to the prestige scores of Ganzeboom and Treiman (1996) and Wegener (1988), ISEI is a measure of socio-economic status.
It is derived from the ISCO-88 code of the current occupation using the Stata ado iskoisei by John Hendrickx which itself is based on Harry Gaanzeboom's SPSS algorithms.
Also available: occupational prestige scores (SIOPS, MPS) and occupational class (EGP).
