  3. Introduction The need to develop statistics on ICT, and hence to define the ICT sector, is particularly significant in light of the decisions arising out of the First Special Meeting of Ministers with Responsibility for Information, Communication and Technology (Antigua and Barbuda, 15 May, 2002). 3

  4. Introduction Statistical classifications are designed to enable the organisation and collation of data that will facilitate analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of statistics. The classifications of economic activities and products are critical to the collection and compilation of business statistics. Measurement of ICT contribution to Employment are done by the identification of ICT occupations and industries to trace the employment. 4

  5. Introduction cont’d For the purposes of measurement and organisation of data on the ICT sector, it is recommended that the countries of the CARICOM region utilize the latest version of the respective reference classifications: • International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev.4); • Central Product Classification (CPC Ver.2); • Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS 2007); • Standard International Trade Classification (SITC Rev.4); • Classification of Services in the Balance of Payment (BPM 5); • Extended Balance of Payment Services Classification (EBOPS based on the BPM 5); and • International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08). 5

  6. Definition of the ICT Sector “All technologies and products that process, transmit, and display information electronically, including that section of the content industry that is engaged in the transformation of products for electronic distribution (online or otherwise). The definition includes the manufacture of ICT goods, the delivery of ICT services, the trade in ICT goods, inclusive of the retail trade in ICT goods (that is accompanied by services incidental to the sale) and other incidental ICT enabling activities.” (OECD/CARICOM)

  7. Broad Classification of ICT related Occupations (OECD/CARICOM) All Occupations that: • develop technologies and products that process, transmit, and display information electronically • are engaged in the transformation of products (information/ content) for electronic distribution (online or otherwise) • are involved in the manufacture of ICT goods, the delivery of ICT services, • the trade in ICT goods, inclusive of the retail trade in ICT goods (that is accompanied by services incidental to the sale) • and other incidental ICT enabling activities. 7
