  • Derivation of data:
    The metaclassification of occupations according to Pappi was constructed as follows:

    1) All men and unmarried women were, as far as possible, assigned their own current or previous occupation.

    2) Women who were married, widowed or divorced were assigned their spouse's current or previous occupation, even if they had an occupation of their own.

    3) School or university students who had never been working full- or part-time were classified according to their fathers' occupation.

    4) If rule 1) and 2) do not allow a classification, because of missing information, the respondent is classified according to the occupation of the father.

    5) Respondents in military/alternative community service were not regarded as being in full- or part-time employment. Instead they were classified according to their previous occupation (men and unmarried women who had previously been working), according to their spouse's occupation (married or widowed women whose husband was or had been working) or according to their father's occupation.

    No occupational metaclassification is possible if one of the relevant sources of occupational data is missing (inadequate description of occupation, refused, don't know or no answer) or if all relevant sources of occupational data register as code 0 'Not applicable'.

    Construction of the metaclassification according to Pappi was discontinued with ALLBUS 1994 because the data on the last occupation of spouses who are not working and the data on the occupation of ex-spouses is no longer part of the ALLBUS- demography.

  • Note:
    Metaclassification of Occupations

    The metaclassification of occupations allows an indirect occupational classification, e.g. according to the profession or occupation of the respondent's spouse or father, for those respondents who do not participate in the labor force. Thus, the purpose of the metaclassification is to arrive at a description of the social circumstance and social positions of otherwise unclassifiable respondents by (indirectly) linking them to positions in the occupational system in a principled way.
    Pappi himself points out that there is probably more than one way of constructing a metaclassification of occupations (Pappi 1979: 297). As an alternative to Pappi's rather male-centered operationalization (e.g. married women are classified according to their husbands' occupation, comp. V854-V862), Michael Terwey has developed a modified metaclassification scheme that gives more weight to women's direct social position (V863-V882). This more recent classification thus takes into account that in contemporary society it is more and more the individual's personal circumstance rather than his or her family's social capital that determines social position.

  • Mit der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) werden aktuelle Daten über Einstellungen, Verhaltensweisen und Sozialstruktur der Bevölkerung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erhoben. Seit 1980 wird alle zwei Jahre ein repräsentativer Querschnitt der Bevölkerung mit einem teils konstanten, teils variablen Fragenprogramm befragt. Die Daten stehen unmittelbar nach ihrer benutzergerechten Aufbereitung und Dokumentation allen Interessenten für Forschung und Lehre zur Verfügung. (de)

Every two years since 1980 a representative cross section of the population is surveyed using both constant and variable questions. The ALLBUS data become available to interested parties for research and teaching as soon as they are processed and documented. (en)
