As a result of a review conducted by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), both previous government social classifications, Social Class based on Occupation and Socio-Economic Groups, were replaced in 2001 by a new classification, the National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification (NS-SEC). A Researcher's Guide to the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification arises from original research, including primary data collection, undertaken by ESRC for ONS. There is a foreword from Gordon Marshall the Chief Executive of the ESRC. A Researcher's Guide to the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification introduces researchers to all aspects of the new classification. In particular, it: fully describes the NS-SEC and elucidates its conceptual basis; guides readers into how the NS-SEC has been validated as a measure; evaluates how well NS-SEC works in describing and explaining the relationships between social class and key health and employment variables; demonstrates the applications of NS-SEC in research
