Validita sociálno-triednych klasifikácií EGP, ESeC a ESeG v slovenskej spoločnosti
The Validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG Class Schemes for Slovak Society

Summary/Abstract: The Validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG Class Schemes for Slovak Society. The subject of this article is the EGP, ESeC and ESeG class schemes and their validity for Slovak society. The basic question is to what extent these three schemes identify differences in occupational conditions in Slovak society. In the first part of the article, the authors presents EGP, ESeC and ESeG schemes, focuses on their theoretical grounds, and looks at the criteria that define social classes within these frameworks. In the second part of the article the author tests whether these three class schemes really measure what they are supposed to: the criterion validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG is tested. After that, the authors examines how much the three class schemes predict other social variables on the basis of theoretical expectations: the construct validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG is tested. Based on criterion validity testing, it proved to be the highest ESeC class scheme, based on the construct validity test, the EseC and ESeG class schemes was the most excellent. Finally the authors compares three class schemes and discusses which of them is a more appropriate explanatory instrument of occupational inequalities in current Slovak society.
