Estimation of number of Architects

Purpose of exercise - estimation as uniform as possible - no distortion of the facts of the profession - estimation to be included in the cultural occupation employment total

Difficulties - most refined code : ISCO 2141 (architects + town and traffic planners) - ISCO4 is unavailable in several countries - regulations and job content vary across countries (Italy, Germany)

Previous estimate [ 20 % - 50 % ] of a cross of NACE 74 (Other business activities) with ISCO 214 (Architects, engineers and related professionals). But ... - the chosen bracket is arbitrary and too broad - does not correspond to reality for several countries

The approach by profession - the profession is on the whole well regulated and organised - many countries have an Order of Architects … - … who owns statistics about the profession

Estimate for other countries - For responding countries : r = Architects / (Cross Nace74/Isco214) r = 27 % (without Italy & Germany) - For non responding countries : Architects = 27 % x (Cross Nace74/Isco214)
