TL;DR: A new occupational prestige scale, based on 116 occupational titles, is presented for the Netherlands in the 1980s, and a key is presented enabling the researcher to assign prestige scores to all occupations listed by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics.
Abstract: A new occupational prestige scale, based on 116 occupational titles, is presented for the Netherlands in the 1980s. Questionnaire data from a nationwide adult survey (N = 753) were used to rank the titles according to prestige. Although data were gathered at an ordinal level, the scale itself was adapted to the interval level. For comparative purposes, scale values were also calculated in a way similar to a scale by F. van Heek et al (Sociale stijging en daling in Nederland 1 [Social Mobility in the Netherlands, Part I], Leiden, 1958), which is shown to be unsatisfactory by current standards. A key is presented enabling the researcher to assign prestige scores to all occupations listed by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics. Using these methods, data from other types of surveys can be used more intensively. 4 Tables, 36 References. Modified HA

TL;DR: In this article, the educational levels of spouses (N = 2,923) are analyzed for 1954, 1971, and 1977. And the authors show that heterogamy cannot be fully accounted for as "forced" by different educational structures.
Abstract: In "Beroepsmobiliteit tussen generaties in Nederland in 1954 en 1977" ([Professional Mobility between the Generations of 1954 and 1977 in the Netherlands], see abstract in this section), H. Ganzeboom & P. de Graaf have shown that occupational mobility was considerably larger in 1977 than in 1954. To examine the validity of this conclusion for the openness of Dutch society on the whole, another indicator, selective mating, is examined. Using Ganzeboom's & de Graaf's questionnaire data, the educational levels of spouses (N = 2,923) are analyzed for 1954, 1971, & 1977. If partners with the same or different levels of education are called homogamous & heterogamous, respectively, a loglinear analysis shows that: (1) heterogamy cannot be fully accounted for as "forced" by different educational structures; (2) structural & actual heterogamy were more pronounced in 1954 than in 1977; & (3) there was still some dependence between spouses' educational levels after 1971. 3 Tables, 21 References.
