International Family of Economic and Social Classifications
The international family of economic and social classifications is comprised
of reference classifications that have been registered into the
United Nations Inventory of Classifications,
reviewed and approved as guidelines by the United Nations Statistical
Commission or other competent intergovernmental board on such matters
as economics, demographics, labour, health, education, social welfare,
geography, environment and tourism. It also includes those classifications
on similar subjects that are registered into the Inventory and are derived
or related to the reference classifications and are primarily,
but not solely, used for regional or national purposes.
