  • C.12 European Social Grade (ESOMAR 7-point scale)

    SCALE on the basis of all active and non-active main income earners as constructed by the original investigator.
    (en)
  • Derivation:
    This scale is based on the recommendation of the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research to harmonise the measurement of social grade across borders. This approach uses three different types of input variables:

    I) Occupation of the main income earner (MIE) is based on 16 occupation groups E1 to E16:
    E1 General management, director or top management (6 employees or more)
    E2 Self employed professional
    E3 Employed professional
    E4 General management, director or top management (5 employees or less)
    E5 Middle management, other management (6 employees or more)
    E6 Middle management, other management (5 employees or less)
    E7 Business proprietors, owner (full/partner) of company and owner of a shop, craftsmen, other self employed (6 employees or more)
    E8 employed position, working mainly at a desk
    E9 business proprietors, owner (full/partner) of company (5 employees or less)
    E10 student
    E11 employed position, not at a desk but travelling or in a service job
    E12 farmer and fisherman
    E13 responsible for ordinary shopping and looking after the home, housewife
    E14 supervisor and skilled manual worker
    E15 other (unskilled) manual worker, servant
    E16 retired or unable to work through illness, unemployed or temporarily not working

    II) The education level of the main income earner (MIE) is based on a classification into 6 groups of education level (adjusting the finishing age of general education in accordance with extra general education or specific apprenticeship and/or professional training): 1) up to 14 years; 2) 15-16 years; 3) 17-18 years; 4) 19-20 years; 5) 21-24 years; 6) 25 years and over.

    III) Household ownership of selected durable is based on ownership in terms of number of products owned (D.14):
    a colour TV set - a video recorder - a video camera - a radio-clock - a PC/home computer - a still camera - an electric drill - an electric deep fat fryer - two or more cars - a second home or a holiday home/flat.

    The combination of these input variables results in a new social grade classification with, as categories (upper to lower): A B C D E1 E2 E3. For more details see standard report EUROBAROMETER 44, April 1996, Brussels, C.15 f.

?:groupDescription
  • Seit Anfang der siebziger Jahre erhebt die Europäische Kommission mit dem "Standard and Special Eurobarometer" regelmäßig die öffentliche Meinung in den Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union. Die Befragungen werden jeweils im Frühjahr und im Herbst auf der Grundlage neuer Stichproben mit einer Größe von 1000 Befragten pro Land persönlich durchgeführt. Für Nordirland und Ostdeutschland werden gesonderte Stichproben gezogen. Nach der EU-Erweiterung im Jahr 2004 werden auch die verbleibenden und die neuen Beitrittskandidaten regelmäßig in ausgewählte Umfragen einbezogen. Die Standard-Eurobarometer-Module fragen nach der Einstellung zur europäischen Einigung, zu den Institutionen und zur Politik, ergänzt durch Messungen zu allgemeinen soziopolitischen Orientierungen sowie zu den demografischen Merkmalen der Befragten und der Haushalte. In unregelmäßigen Abständen befassen sich spezielle Eurobarometer-Module ausführlich mit Themen wie Umwelt, Wissenschaft und Technologie, Gesundheit oder Familie, soziale oder ethnische Ausgrenzung, Lebensqualität usw. Die "European Communities Studies" 1970-1973 können als Vorläuferstudien angesehen werden, ebenso wie die "Attitudes towards Europe" von 1962. (de)
  • Since the early nineteen seventies the European Commission´s “Standard and Special Eurobarometer” are regularly monitoring the public opinion in the European Union member countries at times. Interviews are conducted face-to-face, in each spring and each autumn, at all times based on new samples with a size 1000 respondents per country. Separate samples are drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany. After the EU enlargement in 2004, remaining and new Candidate Countries are also regularly included in selected surveys. The Standard Eurobarometer modules ask for attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, complemented by measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as by respondent and household demographics. Intermittently special Eurobarometer modules extensively address topics, such as environment, science and technology, health or family issues, social or ethnic exclusion, quality of life etc. The “European Communities Studies” 1970-1973 can be considered forerunner studies, as well the “Attitudes towards Europe” from 1962.
