Abstract

The methodical and conceptual deficiencies of traditional classification schemes is discussed in th is article, referring to the socioeconomic classification scheme curr ently used in West Germany. Next, the methodical aspects of using cl uster-analysis techniques for constructing a revised socioeconomic cl assification scheme are outlined and the variable selection procedure is explained. The classification obtained here consists of four type s of farm households, divided according to whether the operator and/o r other family members have nonfarm employment or not.
