The classification of education CASMIN
The CASMIN educational classification was developed in the 1980s with the aim of mapping educational levels in such a way that they are internationally comparable in terms of their function in the process of social class formation and social mobility. The CASMIN scale has been applied to the Microcensuses since 1976, the 1970 Census, and the 1971 Microcensus additional programme, so that largely comparable educational data are available for a period of over 50 years.
