International Standard Classification of Occupations
Author: International Labour Office
Publisher: International Labor Office
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
The International Standard Classification of Occupations 2008 (ISCO-08) is a four-level hierarchically structured classification that covers all jobs in the world. Developed with the benefit of accumulated national and international experience as well as the help of experts from many countries and agencies, ISCO-08 is fully supported by the international community as an accepted standard for international labour statistics. ISCO-08 classifies jobs into 436 unit groups. These unit groups are aggregated into 130 minor groups, 43 sub-major groups and 10 major groups, based on their similarity in terms of the skill level and skill specialisation required for the jobs. This allows the production of relatively detailed internationally comparable data as well as summary information for only 10 groups at the highest level of aggregation. Each group in the classification is designated by a title and code number and is associated with a definition that specifies the scope of the group. The classification is divided into two volumes: Volume I presents the structure and definitions of all groups in ISCO-08 and their correspondence with ISCO-88, which it supersedes, while Volume II provides an updated and expanded index of occupational titles and associated ISCO-08 and ISCO-88 codes.

Pages : 250
Book Description
"Off the Charts! Grand slam home run!" Greg Von Tobel, President and Founder of Prisoners for Christ Outreach Ministries All of us have pain.....most of us waste it As he sat in the back of the police car, hands cuffed and heading to jail, Damon was abandoning his young family like he'd been abandoned so many times as a child. Could what happened on this night finally help him overcome 30+ years of hell and heartache, or would the generational curses he so desperately wanted to stop continue through his children? Damon grew up with alcoholism, divorce, homelessness, life in foster homes, sexual abuse, and deep rooted anger towards his parents. As an adult he struggled with bipolar, domestic violence, time in jail, depression, addiction, failed relationships, divorce, homelessness, and a teenage daughter struggling with addiction. In Pain Drives Change Damon shares how embracing this pain in his life transformed him. His story offers a path and practical tools for personal change in our times of pain. Endorsements: "A riveting story of God's redemptive power. I have used Damon's story to help hundreds of my clients." Dr. Jim A. Talley, drtalley.com, author Reconcilable Differences, Too Close Too Soon, and multiple other books "I'm honored to endorse Pain Drives Change because I was an eyewitness to much of it. What makes this book unique-it's not just a riveting story but the author actually takes you on the journey with him and in so doing encompasses your own journey. All of us have pain in our lives, but this book shows us how pain can propel us into our greatest victories in life." Dr. Don Ross, author "Turnaround Pastor" and Leader of Northwest Ministry Network "I have always loved Damon's transparency, his passion for Jesus, and his ability to see things in life-changing ways other people just plain miss. All of us have pain. Most of us waste it. In Pain Drives Change, Damon will show you, from his life experience, how to maximize it for God's great purpose in your life." Boyd Pelley, Co-founder & President Churchteams.com, member of Damon's online men's group "A brilliant book! Damon opens up and tells the story of the difficult experiences he had growing up lost, damaged, and poor; he digs down to the pain and looks it in the eye. In so doing, he creates a clear path for the reader to do the same. What follows is a template for breaking the damaging cycles that often get passed on to the next generation. As a father, he essentially earns the right to be heard with his children because he is filled with love, courage, self-control, wisdom, and forgiveness. Children, preteens, and adolescents watch their parents to see if they can respect them. Because of his courageous choices, he has a chance with his kids. Read on If you want to learn how to build a stable marriage relationship, blend a family, and lead your preteen out of drugs while being held in the faithful embrace of a loving God." Sharon Hartnett, Ph.D. Emerita Faculty in the School of Education at Seattle Pacific University "An incredibly motivating story. There are few people one meet's in their life who have the gift to listen more than they talk. With Damon, this trait is profound, genuine and authentic. He has been a 'difference maker' in my life and has provided me with constant and consistent motivation though his wisdom, his passion for life, his love of the Lord, and now his incredible story as told in his book Pain Drives Change! This book will certainly make you look both spiritually and conceptually at the relationships that are placed in your life's journey, and how reflection can lead to redemption and ultimately internal and eternal peace. " Bill Marsh, Head Football Coach Cedar Park Christian Schools "Amazing - courageous and moving. It will inspire many to action and to dare hope." Dr. Pam Bryan "I was in tears while reading it. I need my whole family to read your story. Very inspiring and priceless."
