Abstract

Analyses of three datasets were proposed to describe the social location of Australian occupations; the RAISEC interests of adolescent offspring in relation to their sex and the occupation of their parents, described in RAISEC terms; and Year 12 fields of study in relation to the RAISEC interests of students, their sex, and the occupational status and levels of education of their parents.
