Binary Response Model

Description

As part of the Social Change and Economic Life Initiative, funded by the U.K. Economic and Social Research Council in the mid-1980s, complete work history information was collected on 1000 individuals then resident in Rochdale, Lancashire. The work histories were collected in the form of work events, with a start and finish date as well as much detailed information on the employment state - the type and conditions of employment for each event. A subset of data consisting of all work events for males was then extracted, excluding any work event with missing data or relating to a period of unemployment. This produced 1633 work events on 307 cases. Of interest was the relationship of trade-union membership to social class (6 levels), number of employees (5 levels), supervisory responsibility (3 levels), age of individual at start of work event, hours worked (3 levels), work with mainly one sex (4 levels) and promotion prospects (2 levels).
