First job: SOC 2020
This variable is only available in the Special Licence (SN 6931) and Secure Access (SN 6676) datasets.
Standard Socio-Economic Classification (SOC 2020) of first job after leaving full-time education. Full 4-digit version for Special Licence release (SN6931) only. It was not defined for respondents who reported their first job as part of BHPS as occupations were not coded to the SOC 2000 code frame at the time. The classification is coded post-field using the respondent’s description of the job. In the first two waves of Understanding Society the description was first coded to the code frame of SOC 2000. From Wave 3 onward, job descriptions were first coded to the code frame of SOC 2010 and the code for different versions of the classification was computed from a look-up file. For detailed information on the classification, see SOC 2020.
