Authors: Debbie Budlender

Since the International Standard Classification of Occupations 1988 (ISCO-88) was adopted about 15 years ago, the economies of many countries have changed. Therefore, there is a need to alter the ISCO-88 accordingly to consider these developments through revision, improvement, or updating. Recommendations for each type of possible approach to change the ISCO-88 were created through the experiences in national occupational classifications in countries that were considering the changes.
