Dutch team meeting - November 2006

 

A new draft masterlist is contructed by Kea Tijdens, based on the list of ISCO 08, the list Jeroen Groeneveld made for the first meeting of EurOccupation in June (Amsterdam), the US occupation classification and NOC’s. One of the criteria to discard certain occupations is the 0,1% threshold criteria, meaning if less than 0,1% of the population holds this occupation, than it is not included in the masterlist. A different structure was added to the list regarding company’s hierarchy in small, medium sized and large organization. Still, we have to look into some issues, like the NACE classification, occupations in the metal industry, use of Casminx in the masterlist and difference between required and actual educational level. The Dutch team will work on the list and will ask partners to take a look at occupations, especially occupations of which they are cluster coordinator.

The State-of-the-art report on ISCO and the NOC’s of all participating countries is currently drawn up by Joyce Jacobs. There is still a large amount of information missing. Joyce will send emails to partners to request additional information. A draft version of the paper will be presented at the Barcelona meeting in January.

The number of expert registrations on our website is growing. Most registrations are from French experts, where Sylvie-Anne Meriot recently published an article on EurOccupations. Her dissemination activities are very fruitful. We all have to look for possibilities and opportunities to disseminate our project!

 

Judith de Ruijter (et al) is writing a paper on the expert research design of EurOccupations. In this paper the research design of the expert data collection is explained. Next, the measurement of skill level and how tasks for particular occupations will be identified is discussed. Judith and Esther will prepare an example of how to identify relevant tasks for specific occupations and will ask partners, who are cluster coordinators, to identify the tasks of exemplary occupations in their cluster.
