problems with statistics <strong>of</strong> labour market. In <strong>the</strong> classification <strong>of</strong> 1995 <strong>the</strong>re were some outdated<br />

occupations, groups <strong>of</strong> occupation were not ver very y widespread, occupation that were very much<br />

fragmented into specializations, and it lacked some occupations which appeared due to new<br />

technologies.<br />

Two updates made in 2002 and 2004 had a purpose to eliminate <strong>the</strong> limitations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

former classification. . They were both based on ISCO-88 and ISCO-88 (COM), <strong>the</strong> groups<br />

correspond to ISCED-97, 97, and introduced new occupations and remove <strong>the</strong> outdated ones.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong>re is an updated NOC available, most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> research (e.g. national survey)<br />

were conducted before fore 2004 and <strong>the</strong>refore KZiS 2002 is mostly used. Fortunately <strong>the</strong>re is a key to<br />

transfer <strong>the</strong> data collection based on KZiS 2002 to KZiS 2004.<br />

7.3 Conversion table to ISCO-88<br />

A conversion table is available from <strong>the</strong> Polish NOC 2004 to ISCO-88 and convert from <strong>the</strong><br />

level <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unit group <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> KZiS to <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> unit group <strong>of</strong> ISCO ISCO-88. 88. The problem with<br />

converting nurses from KZiS (ISCED level 3) to a higher education level category in ISCO ISCO-88<br />

(major group 2, ISCED level 6) will remain <strong>the</strong> same when con converting verting this occupational group to<br />

ISCO-08.<br />

7.4 Overall conclusions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Polish NOC<br />

Polish occupational classification has two main characteristics: (1) it is very up up-to-date<br />

since it has been updated 3 times in <strong>the</strong> last fifteen years, which led to fun fundamental damental changes in<br />

relation to <strong>the</strong> version <strong>of</strong> 1983; (2) it is based on ISCO ISCO-88 88 and all <strong>the</strong> terms used in <strong>the</strong><br />

international classification are reflected in it. The main critic concerns <strong>the</strong> problems with<br />

classification <strong>of</strong> self-employed, employed, and th <strong>the</strong> using <strong>the</strong> names <strong>of</strong> occupation, , especially in IT sector,<br />

which are not understood by respondents.<br />

8. The National Occupational Classification in Great<br />

Britain<br />

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for compiling <strong>the</strong> Standard<br />

Occupational Classification n (SOC) which was first published in 1990 to replace both <strong>the</strong><br />

Classification <strong>of</strong> Occupations 1980 (CO80) and <strong>the</strong> Classification <strong>of</strong> Occupations and Dictionary <strong>of</strong><br />

Occupational Titles (CODOT). The most recent version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> SOC is from 2000 (SOC (SOC-2000).<br />

8.1 Description cription <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> British NOC<br />

The Standard Occupational Classification is based on principles similar to those <strong>of</strong> ISCO ISCO-88,<br />

skill level and skill content. The SOC consists <strong>of</strong> 9 major groups (See Appendix 8 for <strong>the</strong> structure<br />

<strong>of</strong> SOC-2000 2000 and <strong>the</strong> correspondence to ISCO-88(COM). . The armed forces are incorporated in <strong>the</strong><br />

major groups ‘Managers and senior <strong>of</strong>ficials’ and ‘Associate pr<strong>of</strong>essionals and technical<br />

occupations’. A distinction is made in <strong>the</strong> major group ‘Managers and senior <strong>of</strong>ficials’ between<br />
