The classifications used in the production of EU-SILC results are based on international systems.
- The country codes conform to the ISO 3166 (International Organisation of Standardisation), with the exception of the United Kingdom which is coded as UK.
- The regional codes are the
NUTS II and the corresponding statistical regions for the EFTA and Candidate Countries. - The education variables (the level currently attended and the level reached) are based on ISCED-97.
- The classification of occupation uses ISCO-88 (Com).
- The classification of economic activity uses NACE (Rev. 1.1 until 2007, Rev. 2 from 2008 onwards). See details on the transition between NACE Rev. 1.1 and Rev. 2.
For more details on the classification used please see RAMON, Eurostat's metadata server.
