| Classification structure | ||
| 2 (a) | Please describe the structure of the classification: How many levels does the classification have? (Please provide labels, such as “Division”, “Class”) How many categories exist at each level? | Occupations are presented in three levels of detailing which are marked by one, two and three digit codes: "Major Group" is presented by one digit; "Minor Group" is presented by two digits; "Unit Group" is presented by three digits. All occupations were divided into eight major groups, and to those were added Major Group X for people whose occupation is not known and Major Group Y for persons without a civilian occupation. The classification is built on a three digit level detailing: First Level of Detail - Major Group: Second Level of Detail - Minor Group: Third Level of Detail - Unit Group: The detailing of the groups is based on the actual possibility of getting information from questions asked on various research questionnaires, especially in the population census and in labour force surveys. In order to improve the level of reporting in the population census and in labour force surveys, a question was added about describing the main activities of the interviewee at his workplace. The additional specification is needed for more specific coding of some of the groups, for which, by way of the additional question, additional information will be obtained. See: http://www.cbs.gov.il/www/publications/occupations/introduc.pdf |
| 2 (b) | Please provide examples of the coding system used at each level. | For example,Major Group: "Academic Professionals", "Clerical Workers", "Unskilled Workers", etc. Minor Group: "Judges and Lawyers" or "Secretaries and Keyboard Operating Clerks".
