Abstract:
Different class theories suggest competing mechanisms behind stratification and assume primacy of different levels of occupational aggregation. By comparing eight class schemes across 13 outcomes with data from 650.000 individuals in 66 countries, we offer the most comprehensive multi-scheme comparison of class stratification. We asses scheme performance by average effect strength and model fit. Results suggest that microclasses are the best analytical choice with sufficiently large samples. If parsimony is taken into account and samples are smaller, aggregated class schemes are superior in terms of model fit. The article concludes with a nuanced guide for empirical class analysis.
