Replication package for the paper "A configurational approach to job quality analysis: forms of inequalities at work in Europe"

The following replication package is appended to the article Étienne Penissat, Cécile Rodrigues & Alexis Spire (2024) "A configurational approach to job quality analysis: forms of inequalities at work in Europe", European Societies, DOI: 10.1080/14616696.2024.2312950

The scripts to be run in the following order are:

- 1_Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_2023_DataPreparation.R : Recoding, formatting and scope of data used

- 2_Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_2023_DataAnalysis.Rmd : Analysis and statistical results

The data used in the article comes from the EWCS (2015) - European Working Condition Survey - provided by the European foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions. The data is not available on free access but can be obtained on request. Information on the survey wave used can be found here : https://www.eurofound.europa.eu/surveys/european-working-conditions-surveys/sixth-european-working-conditions-survey-2015

- In the first "1_Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_DataPreparation.R" script, the file containing data named "ewcs_1991-2015.dta" is used. The file called "eseg2_trad.csv" contains english labels for the nomenclature of professional positions ESeG. As "ewcs_1991-2015.dta" is not freely available, it is not included in the package and "eseg2_trad.csv" is located in the "data" folder.

- The first script creates the data file "Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_2023_EWCS15_cleanData.rds" in the "results" folder.

- The second script called "2_Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_DataAnalysis.Rmd" uses the "Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_2023_EWCS15_cleanData.rds" data file and produces the "2_Penissat_EuropeanSocieties_DataAnalysis.html" file containing all code and results presented in the article.
