ISCO08aan

ISCO08aan is a classification system used in the field of occupational information, specifically within the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). ISCO is a framework developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to provide a standardized way of classifying occupations across different countries and sectors. The "08" in ISCO08aan refers to the revision year, indicating that this is the eighth revision of the ISCO system.

The "aan" in ISCO08aan stands for "Activities Auxiliary to Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, Hunting and Animal Husbandry." This category encompasses a range of occupations that support the primary agricultural, forestry, fishing, hunting, and animal husbandry activities. These occupations are crucial for the functioning of these sectors, although they may not be directly involved in the production of goods or services.

Examples of occupations within the ISCO08aan category include agricultural laborers, forestry workers, fishers, hunters, and animal husbandry workers. These roles often involve tasks such as planting, harvesting, maintaining, and caring for agricultural and forestry resources, as well as the handling and care of animals.

The ISCO08aan classification is part of a broader system that also includes other categories such as management, professionals, technicians, and service and sales workers. This system is widely used by governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders for policy-making, labor market analysis, and workforce development. It provides a consistent language for discussing and comparing occupational data across different regions and countries.
