Innovation Panel Variable

Current job: SOC 1990

Standard Occupational Classification 1990 (SOC 1990) of current job. Full 3-digit version for Special Licence release only. Current job refers to being in paid employment during the last week, even if the respondent was away from work in that week. The classification is coded post-field using the respondent’s description of the job. From Wave 2 onwards the job description is collected using proactive dependent interviewing. Respondents who held a current job in their last personal interview (i.e., when their interview outcome was “full adult interview”) and for whom a valid Standard Occupational Classification code was available were asked whether the job description provided in that interview was still true. If the description has changed, the new description was collected and coded post-field. If the description was confirmed, the Standard Occupational Classification code from the last interview is used. Note that information from interviews with proxies is not fed forward. In the first two waves of the Study the description was first coded to the code frame of SOC 2000. From Wave 3 onward, descriptions of new jobs were first coded to the code frame of SOC 2010 and the code for earlier versions of the classification was computed from a look-up file. Full version of this classification available in UK Data Service Study Number 7083 Although the information is collected using proactive dependent interviewing, from IP4 onwards, the freetext was coded to SOC 2000 for all respondents, including those who confirmed they were still doing the same job as last time interviewed. The new code is supplied.
