摘要	The Duncan Socioeconomic Index (SEI), created by Otis Dudley Duncan in 1961, assigns each occupation a socioeconomic status score derived from the education and income of its incumbents. Duncan calibrated the score by regressing the prestige ratings of a limited set of occupations on the percentage of incumbents with high education and high income, then used that equation to predict a status score for every occupation in the census. The SEI thus extends a small number of prestige ratings to the entire occupational structure on a 0–100 scale.	An occupational prestige scale ranks occupations by their general social standing as judged by the public. In the classic design, survey respondents rate a list of occupations on a scale from excellent to poor standing, and the average rating for each occupation, rescaled to 0–100, is its prestige score. These scores have proven remarkably stable over time and strikingly similar across very different societies, making prestige one of the most robust measures in stratification research and the empirical anchor for socioeconomic indexes.
