Description
The isco package consists of a series of programs to recode ISCO-68 (International Classification of Occupations) codes into other occupational scales. Use the isko package to recode ISCO-88 occupational codes. These programs are Stata versions of the SPSS recode files by Harry B.G. Ganzeboom and Donald J. Treiman, which are available at http://www.fss.uu.nl/soc/hg/ismf.
