#+ATTR_HTML: title="Travis occupar" [[https://travis-ci.org/DiogoFerrari/occupar][file:https://travis-ci.org/DiogoFerrari/occupar.svg]]

• Overview

The package occupar (Occupation Classification in R) provides:

1. a handful of functions to convert between different versions of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO): ISCO-68, ISCO-88, ISCO-08.
2. a set of functions to compute class schemes (EGP, ISEI, ESeC, etc.) based on ISCO.

The current package benefited from [[http://www.harryganzeboom.nl/][Harry Ganzeboom]]’s tables on ISCO and class schemes.

• Instalation

Install the development version (requires the package "devtools", so install it first if it is not installed already)

#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports code devtools::install_github("DiogoFerrari/occupar")

If you don't want to update the dependencies, use: (you may need to install some dependencies manually)

devtools::install_github("DiogoFerrari/occupar", dependencies=F) #+END_SRC

NOTE: it may be necessary to create a token to install the package from the git repository in case it is private (see note at the bottom of help page in R by running =help(install_github)=).

• Usage

#+NAME: #+BEGIN_SRC R :exports code library(magrittr) library(tibble) library(dplyr) library(occupar)

--------------------------------

Converting from ISCO-A to ISCO-B

--------------------------------

The general format of the funcions are:

isco<from>to<to> : convert from ISCO-<from> to ISCO-<to>, where <from> and <to> are the year identifying the ISCO

isco<yr>labels : get the labels for ISCO<yr>, where is the year identifying the ISCO

Example: Converting from ISCO-08 to ISCO-88

-------------------------------------------

suppose you have ISCO-08 codes (labels are not needed, only the codes; they are included for ilustration only):

table = tibble::tribble( ~isco08, ~isco08.label, 2310, "University and higher education teachers", 2641, "Authors and related writers", 5230, "Cashiers and ticket clerks", 9629, "Elementary workers not elsewhere classified" )

you can get a vector with corresponding ISCO-88 codes using:

isco88 = occupar::isco08to88(table$isco08) isco88

you can also get the labels of the ISCO-88:

isco88.labels = occupar::isco88labels(isco88) isco88.labels

--------------------------

Computing EGP from ISCO-X

--------------------------

To compute class scheme (EGP,ISEI, ESec, etc) from ISCO-X, where X represent the year of the ISCO, use:

isco<X>to<class-scheme>

Example (labels of ISCO codes are not needed, only the codes; they are included for ilustration only):

table = tibble::tribble( ~isco08, ~isco08.label , ~n.employees, ~self.employed, 2310 , "University and higher education teachers" , NA , 0, 2641 , "Authors and related writers" , 0 , 1, 5230 , "Cashiers and ticket clerks" ,0 , 0, 9629 , "Elementary workers not elsewhere classified", 0 , 1, 1200 , "Corporate managers" , 20 , 1, )

isco88toEGP(table$isco08, n.employees=table$n.employees, self.employed=table$self.employed, n.classes=11) isco88toEGP(table$isco08, n.employees=table$n.employees, self.employed=table$self.employed, n.classes=7)

using pipe and dplyr workflow:

table %>% dplyr::mutate(EGP.11.classes = isco88toEGP(isco08, n.employees=n.employees, self.employed=self.employed, n.classes=11)) table %>% dplyr::mutate(EGP.5.classes = isco88toEGP(isco08, n.employees=n.employees, self.employed=self.employed, n.classes=5)) table %>% dplyr::mutate(EGP.3.classes = isco88toEGP(isco08, n.employees=n.employees, self.employed=self.employed, n.classes=3))
