Standardized, HISCO-coded and classified occupational titles, release 2018.01

All these occupational titles have been coded into HISCO, HISCLASS, HISCAM, OCC1950 and SOCPO classifications. The process of coding of the occupational titles followed three stages: 1) All titles were standardized into a uniform spelling, 2) The resulting standards were provided with a HISCO code and 3) On the basis of the HISCO code other classifications like HISCLASS were added to the standards.

The system will be developed continuously; in the future not only mistakes will be repaired and new titles will be added, but on the basis of HISCO other class and prestige stratifications may be included as well. When using these data in any form (presentations, books, articles etc.) the dataset should be cited as Kees Mandemakers, Rick J. Mourits, Sanne Muurling, Corinne Boter, Ingrid K. van Dijk, Ineke Maas, Bart Van de Putte, Richard L. Zijdeman, Paul Lambert, Marco H.D. van Leeuwen, Frans van Poppel and Andrew Miles, HSN standardized, HISCO-coded and classified occupational titles, release 2018.01 (IISG Amsterdam 2018).
