The NS-SEC categories distinguish different positions (not people) as defined by social relationships in the workplace, that is, by how employees are regulated by employers through employment contracts. Those who have never worked but are seeking or would like paid work are allocated to operational category L14.1. As discussed under L2, the size rule is sometimes used as an indicator of the conceptual distinction between higher and lower managerial occupations. To improve discrimination for detecting relatively small changes, an NPRS comprised of numbers along a scale was used in a population of 100 patients with a variety of rheumatic diseases. Variations in pain descriptors used as anchors for end points on the NPRS have been reported in the literature. However, the methodology used to develop these various anchor terms is unknown.

This is because their status as professionals is more relevant in terms of employment relations than their position as an employer.Because it effectively eliminates a separate class of self -employed, the three-class version may be assumed to involve a form of hierarchy but none of the other versions can be regarded as ordinal scales. However, it would be possible (and in some ways preferable) to retain this class by creating a four-class model. It is not desirable to create an ordinal scale by combining the self-employed in Class 4 with the intermediate Class 3 because the self-employed are distinctive in their life chances and behaviour, but users of the old SECs wanted something similar to the old ‘manual/non-manual’ divide and so the three-class model was created as a faute de mieux approximation. Users should note that the meaning of ‘intermediate occupations’ is not therefore the same in the three-class model as in the others. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that you accept the theoretical and measurement principles of the NS-SEC, take advantage of the conceptual base of the model for developing hypotheses linking it to outcomes of interest, and use appropriate analytic techniques for nominal data. Therefore, when the NS-SEC is collapsed to an analytic variable, you should include the long-term unemployed with those who have never worked.

Self-employed positions in which people are engaged in any (non-professional) trade, personal service, or semi-routine, routine or other occupation but have no employees other than family workers. Latest annual mid-year population estimates available for various geographies including – councils, NHS board areas, small areas (data zones), wards, parliamentary constituencies, settlements and localities, urban rural and deprived areas. Also available for various sub-groups including centenarians and by country of birth and nationality.

The problems here cannot be separated from the more general ones concerning the non-employed population. Simplified method – NS-SEC operational categories or analytic classes: use either the full or reduced method tables and look in the column or row for ‘ssec’. Both the long-term unemployed and those who have never been in paid employment (although available for work) could be treated in employment relations terms as a separate category of those who are excluded from employment relations of any kind.
