Hierarchy path

X3000

This group excludes persons in civilian employment, such as administrative staff of government establishments concerned with defence, police (other than military police), customs inspectors and members of other armed civilian services, members of military reserves not currently on full-time active service and persons who have been temporarily withdrawn from civilian life for a short period of military training. Many jobs performed by members of the armed forces are similar, in terms of the nature of the work performed, to civilian occupations such as medical doctors, radio operators, cooks, secretaries and heavy truck drivers. Conceptually, it may be appropriate, therefore, to classify such jobs in the armed forces with similar civilian jobs. This approach is adopted in several national occupation classifications. For purposes of international comparability, however, where data pertaining to members of the armed forces are reported and classified by occupation, they should be included, where possible, under ISCO’s ‘Armed Forces Occupations’.
