The research questions
From global patterns
to occupational measurement.
- 01
How does the occupational pattern differ across countries?
Compare original published shares within a common source classification, with missing observations kept visible.
- 02
What changes when classifications change?
Inspect the European occupational crosswalk and its alternative descriptions. The mapping work is a regional application of a general measurement problem.
- 03
How do the measures relate to external evidence?
Examine the US benchmark, occupational activity surveys and theoretical capability comparisons.
