The ISCO classification of occupations thus provides a further opportunity to look more closely at the match between the education system and the labour market in different countries. The prospect of higher educated individuals finding a skilled job depends to a large extent on tertiary attainment levels relative to skilled jobs in the country and the change in these two components of supply and demand over time. The ISCO occupational categories 1-3 are classified as skilled jobs and include: Legislators, senior officials and managers (ISCO 1); Professionals (ISCO 2); and Technician and associate professionals (ISCO 3).
2. Year of reference 2002. Year of reference 2004. Countries are ranked in descending order of the percentage of the 25-34 year-olds who have attained at least upper secondary education. Source: OECD. 2a. org/edu/eag2009). 2a). In the 10 OECD countries where more than 80% of 25-64 year-olds have at least upper secondary attainment, the difference in the proportion of 25-34 year-olds and 55-64 year-olds having attained at least upper secondary level is, on average, 13 percentage points. In Germany and the United States, the proportion of population with upper secondary education and more is almost the same for all age groups.
Attainment levels and links with skilled jobs Governments that seek to expand tertiary education have often considered that an advanced knowledge economy needs more high-level skills and thus requires educating a much greater proportion of the workforce beyond the secondary level. The composition of occupational categories in a country captures these factors to some extent. The distribution of occupations reflects the importance of different sectors and of high-end skills for the economy. The ISCO classification of occupations thus provides a further opportunity to look more closely at the match between the education system and the labour market in different countries.
