occupationcross

Description

Occupationcross is designed to facilitate the application of crosswalks between occupational classifiers from different parts of the world.

The main function of this package is reclassify_to_isco08(). Basically, this function takes as an imput a database containing a variable associated with a national occupational classifier and performs a reclassification to International Standard Classification of Occupations 08 developed by International Labour Organization.

In addition, the package also has dataframes specifying the available classifications and crosswalks, as well as the tables used to make the crosswalks.

• available_classifications
• available_crosswalks
• crosstable_sinco2011_isco08
• crosstable_cno2001_isco08

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Guidowe/occupationcross")

Example

This is a basic example of how this package works :

Let´s load first occupationcross, and also tidyverse

library(occupationcross)
library(tidyverse)

The objects available_classifications and available_crosswalks show respectively which are the classifications collected and which crosswalks can be obtained applying the functions contained in this package.

occupationcross::available_classifications

occupationcross::available_crosswalks

Let´s use a sample database from a Mexico´s household survey (Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo) already embedded in this package. This database contains a variable named "p3" corresponding to SINCO 2011 (Sistema Nacional de Clasificación de Ocupaciones - 2011) occupational codes

toy_base_mexico

Applying the reclassify_to_isco08() function we can obtain a reclassification of each case of our database into International Standard Classification of Occupations - 08 (ISCO-08) codes.
- The classif_origin is used to specify which classification is used in the original database.
- The add_major_groups parameter allows you to add a new variable identifying ISCO-08 major group.
- The add_skill parameter allows you to add a new variable identifying skill level of each occupation according to ISCO-08 classification of major groups.
- The code_titles parameter allows you to get the occupation names both from the origin classification and isco 08 classification

crossed_base <- reclassify_to_isco08(base = toy_base_mexico,
                                     variable = p3,
                                     classif_origin = "SINCO2011",
                                     add_major_groups = T,
                                     add_skill = T,
                                     code_titles = T)


crossed_base %>% 
  select(p3,ISCO.08,major_group)
