| Detailed description: | Standard Classification of Occupations (SKZ) is a mandatory standard used for registration, collection, analysis and dissemination of data relevant for monitoring labour market trends in Montenegro. It ensures communication between data producers and users, and provides a unified framework for analysing occupational data. As a national statistical standard, SKZ meets the needs of various users, whether for detailed occupation-level data or aggregated data. It is not used as a legal basis for determining rights and obligations of legal or natural persons. SKZ is a multipurpose, internationally harmonised tool used in employment services, education systems, career guidance, official statistics, research and administrative registers. It ensures consistency and comparability of occupational data. International comparability is ensured through alignment with ISCO-08, used in EU countries. ISCO 08 |
