ISCO 08

ISCO (International Standard Classification of Occupations) Description: The International Standard Classification of Occupations was developed by the ILO (International Labour Organisation) and serves primarily to facilitate the international comparability of labour market statistics. It is also used in censuses, statistics on accidents at work and other statistics in which the occupation of respondents is central. ISCO brings together similar tasks and responsibilities in relation to professional activities (jobs) and thus occupations. ISCO distinguishes 4 levels of detail: Major groups, sub-major groups, minority groups and unit groups. ISCO 88 (after ISCO 58 and ISCO 68) was replaced by ISCO 08 in 2011. Relationship with other classifications: ÖISCO 08
