[Mortality in 15-59-year-old Czech citizens in 1989 based on classes in the Uniform Classification of Occupations].
The investigation analyzes, based on incomplete statistical material from 1989, the relationship between the mortality rate of citizens of the Czech Republic aged 15-59 years and one of the nine basic classes of the uniform classification of occupations into which they belong. The assessed differences as regards early deaths between different classes are surprisingly large and despite assumed inaccuracies they are evidence that even during the period of "real socialism" generally valid social relations were enforced despite proclaimed uniformity. The authors include with the paper an account of social economic groups used in similar analyses in selected European states and they submit also suggestions for a possible transformation of our nine classes to five socio-economic groups. The desirable complete comparability of groups is not ensured, as apparent from enclosures. The authors discuss possible causes of the revealed unexpected higher mortality rate of the medium socio-economic group--i.e. clerks, as compared with data from abroad.
