Validating ESEC Information Requirements and Data Sources for Enhanced Employment Analysis
This document details the operationalization and validation of the European Statistical Employment Classification (ESEC) information requirements and explores potential data sources. It covers essential aspects such as occupation classification (ISCO-88), employment status (ICSE-93), self-employment, supervisory duties, establishment size, industry classification, and methods for identifying inactive individuals. The paper highlights European surveys, including the EU Labour Force Survey and the European Social Survey, and discusses challenges related to data availability for effective application of the ESEC framework.

Operationalising and Validating ESEC Information Requirements and Potential Data Sources
Operationalising ESEC: Information Required • Occupation ISCO-88(COM) OUG • Status in employment (ICSE-93) • Self employed, employees, employers • Supervisory duties • Establishment size (local unit) 0-9, 10+ • Industry (industry/agriculture/services) • Identification of inactive/never worked/other • Reference period/last main job • Unit of analysis: individual/household/background
Examples of Potential Data Sources European Surveys • European Union Labour Force Survey (EU-LFS) • European Community Household Panel Survey (ECHP) • European Social Survey (ESS) • Structure of Earnings Survey (SES – Feb 2005)
Concluding Comments • Implementation of ESEC to ECHP restricted by availability of ISCO-88(COM) at 2 digit level • Implementation of ESEC to EU-LFS restricted by absence of supervisory status • EU-LFS only available through requests for tables of aggregate data • Availability of Structure of Earnings Survey
