{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}
This command converts 4 digit ISCO-88 {it:(International Classification of Occupations)} codes into the class scheme proposed by Oesch (2006).

{p 4 4 2}
The {it:newvarname} argument for the {cmd:iskooesch} command can be any string. 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.
