Please notice, this version is no longer current. See the current version here.

Name:

DISCO_88_V1_1996

Description:

DISCO-88 is a four-digit nomenclature, primarily compiled for statistical use. The nomenclature provides guidelines for a division of the Danish labour market into 372 subgroups, all of which contain a number of closely related occupational functions. Thus, the classification provides the opportunity to compare persons who actually perform the same type of work, but are not necessarily characterised by the same job title or educational background.

DISCO-88 is the official Danish version of International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO), ](https://ilostat.ilo.org/methods/concepts-and-definitions/classification-occupation/), prepared by the International Labor Organization (ILO).
