(4) #CAMSIS and the Analysis of Social Interaction Distance provides the theoretical underpinning of how studying combinations of occupations can produce a valid and nuanced stratification scheme of the position of each individual occupation (5/14)
Graph showing relationship between the CAMSIS and SIOPS occupational measures, which are highly correlated but with individual occupational unit groups often higher on one than the other.

BOX1 Definitions of socio-economic concepts • Social stratification: the hierarchical organization of societies based on access to resources, power and SES, ranging from high to low. Group membership may or may not persist across generations. • Socio-economic status: a social construct reflecting how society assigns value to certain outcomes, skills, traits, behaviours, achievements and assets. SES captures and influences cultural norms within a specific society. In social science research, SES is typically described across four • correlated dimensions: - Income: total earnings from all sources (for example, wages, bonuses, investments and rental income), typically averaged over multiple years and measured at the individual or - - household level. Education: the formal acquisition of knowledge and skills through schooling, training or self-directed learning. Education is both a cause and a consequence of cognitive ability. It is often measured by years of attainment, earned credentials and standardized test scores. Occupation: employment status, which can fluctuate over adulthood. Typically measured through occupational classes, continuous status scales or ranking systems that combine education and occupational status (for example, ISEI, SIOPS and CAMSIS) 58. Wealth: net worth, defined as the value of assets (for example, property, financial holdings and possessions) minus liabilities. Wealth includes both self-generated and intergenerational components and is particularly difficult to measure at the top of the distribution. (Intergenerational) social mobility: the degree to which an individual's SES rank correlates with that of their parents, reflecting changes in SES across generations. • Social inequality: the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities and quality of life across individuals or households within a society at a given time.

(6) Constructing CAMSIS Scales provides the recipe (and #Stata syntax) for creating a scheme from data on pairs of occupations, managing the data and dealing with pseudo-diagonals (pairings which do not reflect the stratification structure) (7/14)

(5) Evaluating CAMSIS scales explores the characteristics of #CAMSIS (and #HISCAM) schemes between countries, drawing on consistencies we commonly see, and how differences often uncover important contours of that society (6/14)
