COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 29 October 2009

on the use of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2009/824/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 211 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The International Labour Organisation has revised the previous version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations used hitherto (ISCO-88) with the objective of making available a more effective classification, which can be used by countries in the next round of population censuses, as well as in national employment services and other client-oriented applications. In order to ensure comparability between data on occupations from the EU Member States and the rest of the world it is important to adopt this revised classification (ISCO-08) in the main European Statistical System surveys collecting data on occupations before the next round of population census that will take place in 2011. |

| (2) | ISCO-08 classification is more detailed than the European version of ISCO-88 (ISCO-88 (COM)) in specific occupations in which a high share of women work. |

ISCO-08 classification is more detailed than the European version of ISCO-88 (ISCO-88 (COM)) in specific occupations in which a high share of women work.

| (3) | Data on occupations is utilised for calculating the indicators on gender segregation used in the follow up of the European Employment strategy (Guideline 18: Promote a lifecycle approach to work and Guideline 22: Ensure employment-friendly labour cost developments and wage-setting mechanisms) (1). Therefore, it is essential to have a standard classification allowing the production of comparable data on occupations. |

| (4) | Data on occupations has also been used for measuring progress on gender balance in decision-making positions by looking at women’s and men’s share among ISCO-88 (COM) managerial occupations. |
