Derivation of data:
For the respondent’s father, the European Socio-economic Groups (ESeG) Classification is constructed using the information available in pdw01 (father’s occupational position when the respondent was 15 years old) and fisco08 (ISCO-08 classification of father’s occupation). Based on this data, the respondent’s father is assigned to one of ESeG’s nine main groups (codes 10, 20, 30, etc.) or one of its 42 subgroups (codes 11-14, 21-25, etc.).
Persons who are in paid work (codes 1, 2 in fwork) are assigned to one of the subgroups 11 to 74 based on their occupational position (fdw01) and their current job (fisco08).
If no subgroup can be assigned, the corresponding main group is coded.
If no main group can be assigned, group 1 "employed persons whose occupation or status in employment is not known" is coded for those who are in paid work.
Unless their ISCO-code allows a regular classification, farmer’s on a cooperative farm (code 9 in fdw01) are also classified in group 1, because it cannot be determined whether they are self-employed or employees of the cooperative.
Unemployed persons would normally be assigned to groups 10-74 based on their last occupation. Because ALLBUS does not provide data on the father’s last occupation, fathers who were unemployed (code -51 in fdw01) are instead assigned to group 2 “Unemployed persons whose previous occupation or status in employment is not known or who never had a job“.
Similarly, fathers who were retired (code -50 in fdw01) are assigned to main group 80 and subgroups 81-87 remain unused.
Cases in which there is no specific information why the father is not working (code -53 in fdw01) are assigned to main group 90, no further subgroups can be specified.
Cases in which the respondent’s father was absent, dead or unknown (codes -53, -54, -55 in fdw01), are coded as -32 ‘Cannot be generated’. Cases in which information about the father’s occupation is missing (code -9 in fdw01) are also coded as -32.

Note:
The European Socio-economic Groups (ESeG) Classification is a tool for measuring socio-economic status. It was developed on behalf of Eurostat and is designed specifically to enable transnational comparisons between the countries of the European Union. ESeG updates the European Socio-economic Classification (ESeC). It was first published in 2014 and subsequently revised in 2016. The version used here corresponds to the revision from 2016.
