Occupation

Kind of work done in a job as defined by the main tasks and duties performed. 

The concept of "occupation" is defined as a set of jobs whose main tasks and duties are characterized by a high degree of similarity. Persons may be classified by occupation through their relationship to a present, past or future job. A "job" is defined as "the set of tasks and duties performed or meant to be performed by one person for a single economic unit" (19th International Conference of Labour Statisticians - ICLS). The latest international standard for classification of occupations is the 2008 International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08). The agency responsible for this topic is the International Labour Organization (ILO).
