The strat package: tools for social stratification research

The aim of the R strat package is to bundle various conversion tools, algorithms and visualisation code, useful for social stratification research.

The current (early) development focus is to provide an unified interface to convert between different occupational unit group classifications (e.g. ISCO88) and stratification schema's (e.g. EGP).

Current features

• ISCO88 to EGP (Goldthorpe)
• ISCO88 to ESeC (Eurostat)
• ISCO88 to ISEI (Treirman)
• ISCO88 to SIOPS (Ganzeboom)

Near-future roadmap

• ISCO88 to Oesch's class-schema
• ISCO88 to Güveli's adapted EGP schema
• Heisse's sheaf-coefficient
