1.3 HistoricaI background
17. Tle develomenl ol lle !nleinalional Slandaid Classilcalion ol Occualions goes Lacl
many decades and has always been closely connected with the work of the International Con-
ference of Labour Statisticians, which meets under the auspices of the International Labour
Oiganizalion. Tle need loi an inleinalional slandaid classilcalion ol occualions was dis-
cussed as eaily as 1921, al lle lisl !CIS (!IO, 1923 and 1924, Resolulion1, aia.1).
18. Woil lo develo !SCO was inilialed in 1947 al lle Sixll !CIS and lle lisl osilive sle

cualions Lased on lle nalional classilcalions ol eigll indusliialized counliies. Al lle Liglll
!CIS (1954) a iovisional lisl ol minoi gious was aioved. Tle inll !CIS (1957) com-
pleted the work by endorsing the major, minor and unit groups of the rst ISCO, which was
uLlisled Ly lle !IO in 1958 and lence is lnown as !SCO-58. !l lad Leen iecognized al lle
inll !CIS llal !SCO-58 would need lo Le ievised allei a ceilain lime. Tle Llevenll !CIS
consideied and adoled a ievised edilion ol !SCO (!SCO-68).
19. !SCO-68 was sueiseded Ly !SCO-88, adoled in 1987 Ly lle !ouileenll !CIS. !SCO-88

20. Since ils adolion !SCO-88 las Leen widely used as lle Lasis loi develomenl ol nalional

22. In conducting the work to update ISCO, the ILO consulted as widely as possible with

2.7 Denitions of groups

86. Tle main uiose ol lle delnilions ol lle gious in !SCO-08 is lo concisely delne lle
content of each group, so that countries can determine as consistently as possible where in the
ISCO structure a particular occupational group should be classied. It is hoped that this will
iomole lle accuiacy and inleinalional comaiaLilily ol dala in slalislical and adminislialive

87. To lle exlenl ossiLle, delnilions ol !SCO-08 gious aie inlended lo Le aLle lo sland

reference to the denitions of other categories.
Structure and ccntent cf the dentcns
88. Tle oveiall sliucluie ol lle delnilions is lle same as llal used in !SCO-88, excel llal
the use of both notes and footnotes as addenda to denitions has been replaced by an optional
leld loi eacl delnilion called oles (see aia.96 Lelow).
89. All delnilions lleieloie Legin will a lead slalemenl, wlicl is lollowed Ly a slalemenl ol

aioacl is adoled loi gious al all levels ol lle classilcalion, alllougl lleie aie some dil-
leiences in loimal and woiding convenlions.
90. Tle lead slalemenl summaiizes lle scoe and Lasic naluie ol lle giou and usually
comprises one or two sentences. In general, the most important or key aspect of the work
performed, that distinguishes the group concerned from other groups, is mentioned rst. In
some cases a sentence is added that refers only to some of the occupations classied in the
group. It is not necessary for all jobs classied in a group to perform all kinds of work identi-
ed in the lead statement.
91. Statements of tasks performed indicate the main tasks typically, or usually, performed in
occualions classiled in lle giou. Tle slalemenl does nol geneially include all lasls ei-
formed in all jobs classied in the group, but may include some tasks that are important in
only some ol lle joLs classiled lleie. !n geneial, lisls ol lasls conlain Lelween lve and len

92. Tasls llal aie unique lo a ailiculai occualion willin a giou aie included as seaiale
items only if they are a particularly important component of the occupation concerned, and
cannot be incorporated in a more general statement that also applies to other occupations.
!oi examle, lle delnilion ol \nil Giou 2263: Lnviionmenlal and Occualional Healll and

and salely adviseis, Lecause llese aie ailiculaily imoilanl elemenls ol lle woil ol llal

(a) iecoiding and invesligaling injuiies and equimenl damage, and ieoiling salely eiloi-

(b) coordinating arrangements for the compensation, rehabilitation and return to work of
injured workers.

delne a llll lieiaiclical level ol lle classilcalion. Tle occualions lisled aie nol exlauslive

and it should be borne in mind that the usage of occupational titles in some countries may
diei liom lle usage imlied in !SCO-08.

278. Tle coding index is lle ley insliumenl loi malcling iesonses lo queslions will !SCO-08
codes. It can take the form of a durable printed publication, a loose-leaf binder, computer
iinloul, oi a macline-ieadaLle lle willin a comulei syslem. Tle same index can Le used
in all of these forms in manual, computer-assisted and automatic coding operations.
279. Tle index is needed Lecause lle loimal names loi classilcalion calegoiies (e.g. Lducalion
Managei) aie nol usually lle same as leims noimally used lo desciiLe joLs in naluial language
(e.g. lead leaclei, sclool iincial, univeisily dean, leadmisliess).
280. Tle index enliies usually include a code loi one oi moie classilcalion syslems, and one oi

underlining and italics may be used to indicate whether specic words can be matched with
