  • Derivation of data:
    For steady partners, the European Socio-economic Groups (ESeG) Classification is constructed using the available information on labor force participation (pwork, pdw03) and on the spouse’s current occupation (occupational position (pdw01) and ISCO-08 classification of the spouse’s current occupation (pisco08)). Based on this data, spouses are assigned to one of ESeG’s nine main groups (codes 10, 20, 30, etc.) or 42 subgroups (codes 11-14, 21-25, etc.).

    Persons who are in paid work (codes 1, 2 in pwork) are assigned to one of the subgroups 11 to 74 based on their current occupational position (pdw01) and their current job (pisco08).
    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

    Unemployed persons would usually be assigned to groups 10-74 based on their last occupation. Because ALLBUS does not provide data on the partner’s last occupation, all unemployed partners (code 3 in pdw03) 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, partners who are retired (code 2 in pdw03) are assigned to main group 80 and subgroups 81-87 remain unused.

    All other economically inactive persons are assigned to subgroups 91 “Students” (code 1 in pdw03) or 99 “Other persons outside the labor force not elsewhere classified” (codes 4-6 in pdw03).

    Cases that cannot be assigned to any group due to lack of information (code -9 in pwork or code -9 in pdw03) are coded as -32 "Cannot be generated".

  • 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.

?:groupDescription
  • 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)
  • The German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) collects up-to-date data on attitudes, behavior, and social structure in Germany. 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)
