A partirdu recensement de 1971, la classification des professions a subi des changements importants; donc, les sociologues devraient developper des méthodes nouvelles pour entreprendre l'analyse des résultats. Lesauteurs discutent et évaluent la nouvelle classification et la « Classification canadienne descriptive des professions », et proposent une réorganisation des groupes de base à fin de formuler une classification socio‐économique des professions plus utile que les grands groupes et sousgroupes du recensement.
Radical changes in the occupation coding system for the 1971 Census of Canada mean that new strategies must be developed by sociologists to analyse census results. The structure of the new code, and of the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations, are discussed and evaluated. An alternative arrangement of the Unit Groups is proposed and demonstrated to be a more valuable socioeconomic classification of occupations than the Major and Minor Groups of the census.
L'article établi l'existence d'une échelle des groupes ethniques et raciales, selon leur position sociale, au Canada anglophone et francophone. Les données de l'étude étaient recueillies pendant une étude sur le prestige professionnel, utilisant une forme de question identique pour obtenir l'échelle ethnique et l'échelle professionnelle. On peut, donc, examiner si les évaluations des groupes ethniques et raciales démontrent moins de consensus que les évaluations des professions.
This paper establishes the existence of a ranking of ethnic and racial groups, according to social standing, within English and French Canada. Since the data used in the study were collected as part of a national study of occupational prestige, and used an identical question format, it is possible to test whether the degree of consensus in this ranking is as great as that for the ranking of occupations.
