Report on participatory mapping of the standard classifications used in Jordan

Jordan institutions are using different Standard Classifications of occupations, economic activities and education, which hampers the comparability of administrative data for labour market analysis. The ultimate goal of different Standards is to analyze macroeconomic policies and produce evidence-based decisions by different users.

The aim of this report is to ; (a) to map out the scope of the various classifications and the use by the various stakeholders, (b) to discuss and validate the findings with relevant stakeholders, and (b) to to allow for brain-storming recommendations on how to improve the comparability of data between institutions.
