Appendix A Summary Correspondence Between ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition and NZSCO 1999
APPENDIX A SUMMARY CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN ANZSCO AND ASCO SECOND EDITION AND NZSCO 1999
The summary correspondence table (concordance) presented here provides an overview of the conceptual relationship between occupations in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and both the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) Second Edition and the New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (NZSCO) 1999.
The letter 'p' indicates where there is a partial match from one classification to the other. For example:
 | ASCO Second Edition | ANZSCO | NZSCO 1999 |
|
| p = partial match | | | | | p = partial match | | |
| 6199-15 | p | Mail Supervisor | 561212 | Postal Delivery Officer | 41423 | | Postal Deliverer |
| 8114-13 | | Postal Delivery Officer | | | 41424 | p | Mail Delivery Contractor |
| | | | | | 91211 | p | Courier and Deliverer |
|
The relationship between ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition illustrated in the correspondence table above, indicates that the ANZSCO occupation 561212 Postal Delivery Officer comprises some of the jobs which were classified in the ASCO Second Edition occupation 6199-15 Mail Supervisor and all of the jobs classified in the ASCO Second Edition occupation 8114-13 Postal Delivery Officer.
The relationship between ANZSCO and NZSCO 1999 illustrated above, indicates that the ANZSCO occupation 561212 Postal Delivery Officer comprises all of the jobs which were classified in the NZSCO 1999 occupation 41423 Postal Deliverer, some of the jobs classified in the NZSCO 1999 occupation 41424 Mail Delivery Contractor and some of the jobs classified in the NZSCO 1999 occupation 91211 Courier and Deliverer.
Detailed correspondence tables between ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition, and ANZSCO and NZSCO 1999 will be available in electronic format from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Statistics New Zealand (Statistics NZ) web sites.
These correspondences present important summary information for understanding the changes that have taken place in the definition of occupations between ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition, and ANZSCO and NZSCO 1999. They do not, however, identify the proportion of an ASCO Second Edition occupation or an NZSCO 1999 occupation that would fall into a relevant ANZSCO occupation and vice versa.
In Australia, this information will be compiled by coding 2006 Australian Census of Population and Housing data to both the ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition. A number of other ABS collections, including the Australian Labour Force Survey will be dual-coded to both ANZSCO and ASCO Second Edition to assist in maintaining time series.
In New Zealand, this information will be compiled by coding 2006 New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings data to both the ANZSCO and NZSCO 1999. A number of other Statistics NZ collections, including the Household Labour Force Survey will be dual-coded to both ANZSCO and NZSCO 1999 to assist in maintaining time series.
The ABS will produce a detailed link file following completion of data processing of the 2006 Australian Census of Population and Housing. The link file will show the one-to-one links and numerical/proportional relationships between the categories of ASCO Second Edition and ANZSCO.
