context_section_description: From the population of Beighton, 84 people have no qualifications. According to the 2011 census 101 people have a qualification of a degree and 172 have qualifications below degree level. Between males and females in 1881 there was a large contrast between the occupation field. Males tended to do the more manual jobs such as agriculture and construction whilst females tended to either be house wives or work in the domestic field.
  According to the 2011 census, the occupation structure has dramatically changed. Majority of the working women in Beighton are employed in the Education, Health and Social work in 2011 rather than being in the domestic sector or with no known work in 1881. The men of the village have moved from agricultural work in to construction and manufacturing. This shift for both males and females has come from an improvement in education and the change in industry due to the industrial revolution. There is dramatic change in that from 1881 to 2011 women started working and thus got educated and become qualified to have occupations which were once male dominated.
  In Beighton 20% of the population between the age of 16-74 are socio-economically classified as "Lower managerial and professional occupations" Examples of "Lower managerial and professional occupations" are social workers, nurses, journalists, retail managers and teachers.
