The program combines it with a class scheme indicator to create the names of the generated variables (see options {cmd:sixteen}, {cmd:eight}, {cmd:five}). {p 8 12 2} {help iscooesch} makes the transformation into the Oesch scale based on ISCO-08 codes. {title:Options} {p 4 8 2} {cmd:isko} specifies the variable to be recoded. This must be a 4 digit integer containing ISCO-88 occupational codes. {p 4 8 2} {cmd:emplrel} specifies a categorical variable indicating the employment relation. Relevant values are: 1 = employee, 2 = self-employed, [3 = working for family business, optional]. All other values are ignored. {p 4 8 2} {cmd:emplno} specifies a numerical variable indicating the absolute number of employees supervised. The relevant intervals for placement in the respective Oesch categories are 0, 1/9, and 10/max. {p 4 8 2} {cmd:sixteen}, {cmd:eight}, {cmd:five} specify which versions of the Oesch class scheme (16-class, 8-class, 5-class) are generated. If no option is given, the 16-class scheme is generated. The resulting variables are named oesch16_{it:newvarname}, oesch8_{it:newvarname}, oesch5_{it:newvarname} respectively. {p 4 8 2} {cmd:replace} permits to overwrite existing variables. {title:References} {p 4 8 2} Hendrickx, J. 2002.
