Occupation-Based Conceptualisations Of Socioeconomic Status, Julie Mcmillan
Occupation-Based Conceptualisations Of Socioeconomic Status, Julie Mcmillan
Julie McMillan
This paper focuses upon occupation-based conceptualisations of socioeconomic status (SES). Using occupational data to measure the SES of individuals is a two-step process, whereby it is necessary to first collect and code occupational data, usually in accordance with an official occupational classification, and second, to recode these data into a measure of SES. There are three broad types of measures available – class, occupational prestige, and socioeconomic indices – and within these broad types, a large array of conceptualisation and measures are available. The author focuses on some of the more widely accepted approaches for which there are well-established Australian …

A New Scale For Measuring Socioeconomic Status In Educational Research : Development And Validation Of The Australian Socioeconomic Index 2006 (Ausei06), Julie Mcmillan, Frank Jones, Adrian Beavis
Julie McMillan
This paper introduces a new occupational status scale, the Australian Socioeconomic Index 2006 (AUSEI06), which can be used to explore a wide range of equity issues relating to educational aspirations, early school leaving, access to higher education, literacy and numeracy levels, and other aspects of educational access, achievement, and attainment. AUSEI06 was developed in response to the introduction of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The scale provides a simple means for educational researchers to convert ANZSCO codes into more sociologically meaningful occupational status scores. The aims of this paper …

The Ausei06: A New Socioeconomic Index For Australia, Julie Mcmillan, Adrian Beavis, Frank Jones
Julie McMillan
This article provides an overview of the development of a new occupational status scale, the Australian Socioeconomic Index 2006 (AUSE106). This is the latest in the series of ANU scales, which since 1965, have provided a means for researchers to convert data coded in accordance with official occupational classifications into occupational status scores. The ANU scales have been widely used in fields such as sociology, education, economics and health. The new scale has been developed in response to the introduction of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Recent changes in …

Introducing The Australian Socioeconomic Index 2006 (Ausei06), Julie Mcmillan, Frank Jones, Adrian Beavis
Julie McMillan
This paper introduces a new occupational status scale, the Australian Socioeconomic Index 2006 (AUSEI06). AUSEI06 is the latest in the series of ANU scales that for more than 40 years have provided researchers with a means of assigning sociologically meaningful occupational status scores to data coded in accordance with the official occupational classifications of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The scales continue to be widely used in fields as diverse as sociology, economics, education, and health. However, the release of a new occupational classification by the ABS has changed the manner in which much new Australian data on occupations …
Scoring Occupational Categories For Social Research: A Review Of Current Practice, With Australian Examples, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
Scoring Occupational Categories For Social Research: A Review Of Current Practice, With Australian Examples, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
Julie McMillan
The scoring of occupational categories has a long history. After reviewing the historical background, we develop and discuss the properties of two new Australian scales based on current theorising in stratification research. The first is based on the operation of the labour market and scores occupations to reflect their central role in converting educational credentials into market income. The second is based on patterns of social interaction and scores occupations to reflect the choices that people make in marriage markets. While these two scales are not theoretically or empirically equivalent, they are closely related and provide equally valid, but alternative, …

Measurement Of The Socio-Economic Status Of Australian Higher Education Students, Julie Mcmillan, John Western
Measurement Of The Socio-Economic Status Of Australian Higher Education Students, Julie Mcmillan, John Western
Julie McMillan
The underrepresentation of persons from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds in higher education in countries such as Australia is of policy concern. In order to be able to identify such individuals for targeted interventions and to monitor their participation rates, it is necessary to have an accurate, simple to administer, and relatively inexpensive method of measuring students' socio-economic characteristics. We demonstrate that the postcode methodology currently used by the Australian Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) for monitoring purposes, while being relatively simple and inexpensive to administer, is subject to considerable error. A student is allocated the `average' socio-economic status …
The Anu3_2 Scale: A Revised Occupational Status Scale For Australia, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
The Anu3_2 Scale: A Revised Occupational Status Scale For Australia, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
Julie McMillan
Australian researchers have used ANU status scales for over two decades to assign socioeconomic status scores to occupations coded into the occupational classifications produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). When the ABS has released new occupational classifications in the past, the ANU scale has been updated accordingly. The most recent status scale, the ANU3 scale, was developed in 1989 for use with the First Edition of the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO). In 1996, however, the ABS released the Second Edition of ASCO. In this paper, we report an adaptation of the ANU3 scale for use with …
