Annex B. Classification and definition of occupations
The following classification was used for the 2019 Survey for the Western Balkans on Strategic Human Resources Management in Central/Federal Government, which resulted from the 2016 OECD Survey on Strategic Human Resources Management updated in 2019. Such classification defines the four main hierarchical levels on occupations. These definitions are broadly based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) maintained by the International Labour Organisation, and full definitions are available via the following link: www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/isco08/index.htm. The classification and the definition of the occupations are an adaptation of the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO). The reason for the adaptation is that not all countries follow the ISCO model to classify their occupations in government, as the occupations included at the national level may differ due to specific legal and administrative frameworks.
