Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aims of this research project are to update occupational prestige scores and to construct a new scale of social status by using data of the 2016 Social Status Survey. The main findings are as follows: (1) There are considerably high correlations in the occupational hierarchy by subsamples, (2) The robustness and reliability of the occupational prestige scores are reinforced, (3) Some occupational prestige scores with gender, employment status or company size were different from original occupational prestige scores. The construction of new scale (multi-dimensional social status scale) for prestige and socioeconomic status is urgent matter.
