labourR - Classify Multilingual Labour Market Free-Text to Standardized Hierarchical Occupations

Allows the user to map multilingual free-text of occupations to a broad range of standardized classifications. The package facilitates automatic occupation coding (see, e.g., Gweon et al. (2017) <doi:10.1515/jos-2017-0006> and Turrell et al. (2019) <doi:10.3386/w25837>), where the ISCO to ESCO mapping is exploited to extend the occupations hierarchy, Le Vrang et al. (2014) <doi:10.1109/mc.2014.283>. Document vectorization is performed using the multilingual ESCO corpus. A method based on the nearest neighbor search is used to suggest the closest ISCO occupation.

iscoCrosswalks - Crosswalks Between Classifications of Occupations

Allows the user to perform approximate matching between the occupational classifications using concordances provided by the Institute for Structural Research and Faculty of Economics, University of Warsaw, <doi:10.1111/ecot.12145>. The crosswalks offer a complete step-by-step mapping of Standard Occupational Classification (2010) data to the International Standard Classification of Occupations (2008). We propose a mapping method based on the aforementioned research that converts measurements to the smallest possible unit of the target taxonomy, and then performs an aggregation/estimate to the requested degree Occupational Hierarchical level.
