Mapping a national classification of occupations into ISCO-88:

Abstract

2. The focus on the paper is on mapping the groups of a NOC into corresponding groups in ISCO-88. Other factors of importance for obtaining internationally comparable occupational information, such as data collection and coding strategies, will not be discussed here. Furthermore, the discussion is based on the assumption that the NOC is based on principles roughly consistent with those of ISCO-88, in particular, that the most detailed groups are defined in terms of type of work performed.
