1. First results on occupations by ISCO 08 Some quality issues

2. Name of the presentation Introduction The first ISCO 08 results were provided by the Labour force survey on its first quarter 2011. The ISCO 08 revision was quite important and although the Major Groups kept the same titles as in the ISCO 88 structure, their content is not the same. Almost all Major groups were reshuffled with some occupations moving from one major group to another. Only MG 0 - Armed forces remained with the same composition in the 2 versions of the classification.

11. Name of the presentation Conclusions These aren't necessarily reasons for lack of quality in the implementation of the new classification! Many reasons can explain these national differences: –We are analysing data from 2 different years and labour markets can fluctuate, –we are using survey data which have some margin of error –the magnitude of the labour force for the "entrant" and "leaving" occupations in each Major Group is different in each Member State. Nevertheless, a deeper analysis should be conducted and this is one of the tasks foreseen in the framework of the European Socio-economic Classification ESSnet.
