The isko package consists of a series of programs to recode ISCO-88 (International Classification of Occupations) codes into other occupational scales. Use the isco package to recode ISCO-68 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.
iskoisei transforms ISCO-88 codes into an ISEI scale (International Socio-Economic Index); cf. Ganzeboom, de Graaf, Treiman (1992).
