Abstract

In social sample survey research and the census, international classifications have been developed for the measurement of background variables such as the level of educational attainment (ISCED), economic activities (ISIC) and occupations (ISCO) to ensure the cross-national and overtime comparability of measurement. In this respect, Eurostat developed the European socio-economic classification (ESeC) as a “vehicle … [to] monitor social structure and social change, one of the most crucial purposes of social statistics”. However, although the conceptual derivation of ESeC has been thoroughly validated, there is no evidence in the literature on its performance. In this paper, we assess the implementation of ESeC by investigating the demographic “profile” of both the employment status based on the size of the organization and the ESeC. The analysis is based on the 2018 European Social Survey datasets for eight European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland and the UK.
