The implementation of the German Classification of Occupations 2010 in the IAB Job Vacancy Survey : documentation of the implementation process

"The IAB-Job Vacancy Survey (IAB-JVS) is the only establishment survey in Germany which contains information about vacancies and new hires on an occupational level. When the new German Classification of Occupations 2010 was introduced, it became necessary to integrate it into the IAB-JVS. This report outlines the implementation of the new classification into the IAB-JVS questionnaire. It was conducted simultaneously with the renewal of the international classification, from ISCO-88 to ISCO-08. First, the purpose of the JVS and the necessity for classification is illustrated. Subsequently, the new classification is briefly introduced and the process of implementing adequate questions into the IAB-JVS is described. Also, the conducted pretest is described. The report closes with first results and a conclusion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
