Conversion table Isco88 => Isco08 Application for the French LFS ( 2010 ) and for LFS 2009 (21 countries)
Work conducted by R . Warnan et L Meuric (Insee) • Variables used : • - Isco 88(Com) 3 digits • - supervisory function (SUPV) • -Highest level of education instead of qualification (QUAL) • - Size of firm (NBSAL) ; • - Status (Employed or Self Employed) • - Activity Titre du diaporama
Limits of this exercise • The rules for construction of ISCO-88 and ISCO-08 are similar. • But EU version (Isco88(Com)) has introduced some specificities (in particular, for executives and professionals from the Public Service). • Otherwise, with the theoretical conversion table ( ISCO-88 => ISCO-08), there are many major groups change (upgrades or downgrades) which can not be realized without qualification. • In addition, some theoretical changes could not be treated due to the lack of large enough or precise ancillary variables. • Finally, code quality produced with conversion table is imperfect. Titre du diaporama
What is provided to users • - a commented computer program (SAS) • - The transcoded « profession » is recorded in a variable called ISCO08. • -Some Comments are made. • - An Excel file allows the rules of the conversion table to be read more easily. Titre du diaporama
Usefulness of ancillary variables • Activity • Occupations of group 1, 2 or 3 are often divided according to the sector in ISCO-08. Activity is also sometimes used to distinguish between white collar and blue collar workers. • Size of firm • It serves to distinguish the small employers (less than 10 in group 5) from the others (group 1). Titre du diaporama
Usefulness of ancillary variables (suite) • Supervisory function • With this variable (SUPV) some people are upgraded to a higher group. • For example: • – Clerical support workers (group 4) can become « Business and administration associate professionals » (group 33) • – Some Sales workers (group 52) can become “shop supervisors » • – Some workers (essentially the most skilled ones) can be recorded in group 31 and become Manufacturing supervisors (3122) Titre du diaporama
Usefulness of ancillary variables (suite) • Status • Qualification • In ISCO-08 there are 4 levels for qualification, associated with different major groups. We do not have this variable in LFS . Also, we use Hatlevel. Titre du diaporama
