55. In Australia, a detailed link file was produced following completion of data processing of the 2006 Census of Population and Housing which shows the numerical/proportional relationship between the categories of ASCO Second Edition and ANZSCO. A number of other ABS collections, including the Labour Force Survey, were dual-coded to both ASCO Second Edition and ANZSCO to assist in maintaining time series between the two classifications.
56. In New Zealand, the 2006 Census of Population and Dwellings was dual-coded to both the New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupation (NZSCO99) and ANZSCO. A number of other Statistics New Zealand collections, including the Household Labour Force Survey, were dual-coded to both NZSCO99 and ANZSCO to assist in maintaining time series between the two classifications.
57. The detailed relationship between ANZSCO, ASCO Second Edition and NZSCO99is explored in the correspondence tables between ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition, and ANZSCO and NZSCO99
58. The international reference classification for occupation is the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO), which was developed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). ISCO uses the same classification criteria as ANZSCO for grouping occupations: skill level and skill specialisation. The main aims of ISCO are to provide a basis for international comparisons of occupation statistics between member countries and to provide a conceptual model for the development of national occupation statistics. Correspondence tables between ANZSCO and ISCO are available which detail the relationship between the two classifications.
