Variable : Booth-Armstrong Industrial Classification

Variables serve as the dimensions of nCubes, and are generally based on the questions on forms such as the census schedule. However, in the aggregate data held in the Vision of Britain system we do not store the individual responses but counts of the number of each kind of response, so variables are made up of categories, such as age groups.

Name:
Booth-Armstrong Industrial Classification
Type:
Variable (V)
Text:
This classification was developed by Charles Booth as part of the preliminary studies leading up to his survey of Life and labour of the people in London (1892-7), but first published by Armstrong only in 1972 (Armstrong, W.A., 'The use of information about occupation', ch. 6 (pp. 191-310) in Wrigley, E.A. (ed.), Nineteenth-century Society: Essays in the use of quantitative methods for the study of social data (Cambridge: CUP, 1972). Since its publication, it has been widely used, especially in community studies using the census enumerator's books.
