PRESENTATION

The National Administrative Department of Statistics, DANE as the coordinator entity of the National Statistical System (NSS), within the framework of the “Statistical Planning and Harmonization” project works to strengthen and consolidate the NSS. This is carried out through several processes such as: the production of strategic statistics; the generation, adaptation, adoption and diffusion of standards; the consolidation and harmonization of statistical information, and the connection of instruments, stakeholders, initiatives and products. These actions are carried out in order to improve the quality of strategic statistic information, and its availability and accessibility to respond to users demand.

In this context DANE, aware of the need and obligation to provide better products for its users, developed a standard presentation guide for methodologies. The aim of this guide is to contribute to the visualization and understanding of the statistical processes, allowing further analysis, control, replicability and evaluation. The documents are presented in a standard and comprehensive manner, thus facilitating the understanding of the main technical characteristics involved in the processes and sub-processes of each research, making them available for both specialized users and the general public.

These series of guides promote the transparency and credibility of the technical expertise of DANE, for a better understanding and use of statistical information. This information is produced according to the principles of coherence, comparability, integrality and quality of the statistics.

INTRODUCTION

DANE as the governing body of the SEN has the fundamental mission of guaranteeing the availability, quality and impartiality of strategic statistical information for the social, economic and political development of the country.

Aware of the need for efficient, timely and accurate information systems, DANE has developed adaptationprocessesoftheInternationalStandardIndustrialClassificationofAllEconomicActivities,Revision2(ISICRev.2DANE),Revision3(ISICRev.3A.C.)andRevision3.1(ISICRev.3.1A.C.),theCentralProductClassificationVersion1.0(CPCVer.1.0A.C.)andtheInternationalStandardClassificationofOccupationsISCO-88(ISCO88A.C.),bymeansoftheGroupofNomenclaturesandClassifications.

The adaptation processes are implemented by each country in compliance with the United Nations Organization (UN) recommendations. These processes involve the preparation of correlative tables that enable the relation of aparticularclassificationintermsofanotherand,atthesametime,theinterrelationofthedifferenthierarchicallevelsofclassificationsbetweentheoriginalclassificationanditsadaptedversion.Thisfacilitatestheadoption,adaptationandinterpretationofastatisticalclassification.

DANE’s Nomenclatures and Classifications group developed correspondence tables between the differentversionsof theadaptedclassifications, inorder tomake themequivalent.These tablesprovide therequiredinformation to users for various types of sectoral analysis. This work is supported by decree 262 dated January 28, 2004, article 17.

The methodological document presented below is aimed at facilitating the understanding of the statistical information produced by DANE, given that this document provides standard guidelines on how to prepare correlative tables, in order to simplify the consulting process for various types of users and to speed up the understanding and use of statistical information.

Thedocumentisdividedintofourparts,thefirstofwhichpresentsthehistoryofeconomicandsocialcorrelativetables; the second part presents the conceptual and methodological design of correlative tables, the third part presents the activities involved in the development and maintenance processes for correlative tables and the last part explains the mechanisms for disseminating these instruments to the SEN users.

9 Economic and social correlative tables

BACKGROUND1TheStatisticalOfficeof theUnitedNationsand the InternationalLaborOrganization (ILO),custodianof theInternationalStandardClassificationofOccupations,aretheentitiesthatreviewandupdatetheirclassifications,incorporatingmodificationsaccordingtothecountries’socioeconomicneedsandrequirements.Subsequentlytheseentitiespublishnewversionsof theclassificationsadding the termRevisionNºorVersionNº to theiroriginal name. As a result of this process, correlative tables are developed to complement the adaptation or maintenanceofeconomicandsocialclassificationsprocess.

Correlative tables enable:

Theestablishmentofacorrespondencelevelbetweenclassifications.

Standardizationofcollecteddatawithotherclassifications.

To guarantee continuity of the existing statistical time series.

Tofacilitatetheadoptionanduseoftheclassificationsinvolvedinthecorrelationofthedifferentcategoriesthat make up their structures, endorsing the update and quality of statistical information for decision-making purposes.

TheoriginalversionoftheInternationalStandardIndustrialClassificationofAllEconomicActivitieswaspublishedin 1958 with the acronym ISIC. In 1968 a second revision was published adding the term Revision 2 to the acronym,ISICRev.2.In1990thethirdrevisionwasmadeofficialidentifyingitasISICRev.3.

As for social classifications and specifically theClassification ofOccupations, ILO published its first editionin1958.Thiswas reviewed in1968and thenadapted toColombia,naming itas “ClasificaciónNacionaldeOcupaciones–CNO-70”(NationalClassificationofOccupations–CNO-70).

DANEproceededwiththereviewofallofthecountry’sexistingclassificationsintermsofoccupations,suchasthe“ClasificaciónNacionaldeOcupacionesCNO–70”(NationalClassificationofOccupations–CNO-70),theInternationalStandardClassificationofOccupationsISCO-88andthe“ClasificaciónNacionaldeOcupacionesSENACNO-95”(NationalClassificationofOccupationsSENACNO-95),inordertodeterminewhichclassificationwould guarantee uniform treatment of statistical data on occupations at a national level, and their international comparability.

In 1998 it was decided that ISCO-88 of the ILO presented the most appropriate structure to facilitate the managementofinformationonemployment,laborcertificationandoccupationalstructure.

In2000,DANEpreparedthefirstofficialdocumentoneconomiccorrelatives,wherebytheISICRev.3A.C.wasusedasthebasisclassificationandthefollowingcorrelativetableswerepublished:

ISIC Rev.3 A.C. vs. ISIC Rev.3 International Version.

ISIC Rev.3 adapted by DANE for the 1990 Economic Census. Vs. ISIC Rev.2 DANE for the Annual Manufacturing Survey.

In2005DANEcompletedtheadaptationprocessforColombia,makingtheInternationalStandardClassificationof Occupations available to users and the general public.

Consequently, and in view of the demands made by the users, correspondence tables between the different nationalclassificationsofoccupationsandtheISCO-88A.Cweredeveloped.Thiswasdonetothehighestlevelof disaggregation, corresponding to primary groups – four digits - specifying the name of each occupation, and takingintoaccountthattheclassificationproposedbytheSENAisamatrixsupportedstructure,thusmakingitdifficulttocorrelatemoreaggregatedlevels.Forthisreason,andinordertomaketheconsultingprocessmoreaccuratewithouthavingtocheckeachclassification,theSocialClassifications’groupdevelopedthefollowingCorrelative Tables:

2.1.1. Objectives

General objective.Toserveasa tool for relatingclassificationsofsimilarordifferentnature,systematicallyexplainingwhereandtowhichextentcategoriesinaclassificationcanbefoundinpreviousversionsofthesameclassification,orinotherclassifications.

Specific objectives

To facilitate the use of the classifications involved, correlating the different categories thatmake up theirstructure.

Tofacilitatetheuseandadaptationofnewclassifications.

Tostandardizehistoricalseries,makingcomparisonsbetweenversionsoftheadaptedstatisticalclassifications.

To guarantee comparability in statistical analysis by sectors of the economy.

2.1.2. Framework of reference

Conceptual basis.Acorrelativetableistherelationestablishedbetweencategoriesoftwoormoreclassifications.This is done inorder to transformdata setsof a classification in termsof another,making themequivalentregarding their structures and contents.

The fundamental basis to develop correlatives depends on the study and analysis of the classifications tocorrelate, thus making it necessary to have a broad knowledge of their different components.

Correlative tables express the relation between different classifications for standardization purposes. Thisrelationshowsthecorrespondencethatexistsbetweentwoclassificationsregardingtheircategories,sothattheir structures and contents are equivalent.

Thebaselineclassificationtopreparecorrelativesisthatasfromwherecorrespondencetootherclassificationswillbeestablished.Theseclassificationsmaybeofthesameordifferentnature.Onlyonebaselineclassificationcanbechosentoprepareacorrelativeinaspecificdirection.


Thereareseveraltypesofrelationsappliedtocorrelativesbetweeneconomicclassifications,namely:

International references.ThegoverningbodyofinternationaleconomicclassificationsistheUnitedNationsStatisticalCommission.Thisiswheretheoriginalversionsofthemostimportantclassificationsaredevelopedand the technical recommendations for their use are made.

Given that economic statistics should be internationally comparable, the Commission recommends the developmentofcorrespondencetablesbetweenclassifications,toguaranteesuchcomparability.

2.2. METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN

2.2.1. Basic components. The basic components of the Economic and Social Correlative Tables are built fromtheinternational,multinationalandnationalversionsofallstatisticalclassificationscoveredbythisstudy.The different categories in each classification are studied; these are hierarchically arranged from themostaggregated level to the most disaggregated one, so that each category of a lower level is fully contained in the higher-level categories.

Nomenclatures and classifications used. In order to have a better understanding of the work done in the developmentofcorrelativetables,belowisalistoftheinternational,adaptedandnationalclassificationsthathave been used, as well as the level of disaggregation applied in the process:

PROCESSES INHERENT IN CLASSIFICATIONS3

3.1. DEVELOPMENT OF CORRELATIVES

Thefirstissuetobeconsideredistheidentificationoftheclassificationthatwillbethebaselineforthedevelopmentof the correlative and the level of disaggregation required to obtain and compare results.

The level of disaggregation is determined according to the correlative’s usage purpose. In addition, this could be conditioned by the availability of the information in hand.

The following steps have been established to start the process of developing a correlative:

To study and analyze the explanatory notes and structure of the classifications involved, identifying theelements that make them up, both in their conceptual basis and their explanatory notes.

Tointerpretcorrectlywhatisincludedandwhatisexcludedineachclassificationinvolvedinthecorrelative.Inthisprocessotherinternational,nationalandmultinationalreferenceclassificationsareused,thatalthoughnot involved in the correlative could serve as bibliographic support to clear up doubts related to interpretation ofclassifications.Forexample, in thecaseofcorrelativesrelated toadaptedversionsof the InternationalStandardIndustrialClassificationofAllEconomicActivitiesISIC,theinternationalversionsofthisclassificationshould be taken into account, to determine whether certain homologations were carried out correctly.

To define the baseline classification and locate the code and description of the category to correlate in this classification.

Complete the interpretive reading of the description, or explanatory notes of the selected category code.

Make use of bibliographic reference documentation, to guarantee quality in the development of correlatives.

To establish the correlative itself, making the relation between the baseline classification code and theclassificationcodewithwhichthestandardizationisbeingcarriedout.Thisrelationshouldbeconsistentwiththenumberofdigitsthatwerepreviouslydefined.

Preparation of technical support to document the decisions made regarding code assignment in the correlative, orthemodificationofexistingcodes.

The table below presents a graphic example of the application of the aforementioned steps to correlate ISIC Rev. 3 A.C. versus ISIC Rev. 3.1 International:

Forthisexample,thegroup251ofISICRev.3A.C.isused,whichwillbeidentifiedasthebaselineclassification:


ThisgroupclassifiesactivitiesregardingtheManufactureofRubberProducts.ForColombiathegrouphasbeendisaggregated into four classes, while the international version is made up of only two classes. The explanatory notes for each version of ISIC are studied below, in order to determine the type of correlation to be established.

The correlation is carried out in all the disaggregation levels of the versions involved. To begin with, the code of division 25 Manufacture of rubber and plastic products is taken from the baseline version that corresponds to ISIC Rev. 3 A.C. Then, the ISIC Rev. 3.1 International is assessed, to verify if there is also a division 25 that can be related according to its corresponding description.

The same procedure is carried out for the levels Group and Class. It is worth mentioning that the homologation decision is made after the study and research of the bibliographic documentation.

The result of this process is a many-to-one relation, where from it can be concluded that in order to adapt the ISIC Rev. 3.1 the corresponding study of the sector is necessary to determine if the activities included in these classes have a significant economic representation for the economy of the country and thus keep the disaggregation; otherwise, they can be aggregated in one single group, as indicated by the international recommendation.

The following table shows how classes 2511 and 2512 of the ISIC Rev. 3 A.C. are correlated with class 2511 of theISICRev.3.1Internationalandclasses2513and2519oftheadaptedclassificationarecorrelatedwithclass2519 of the ISIC Rev. 3.1 International.

3.2. MAINTENANCE

Adjustments within the application of the correlatives’ framework should be made to correct inconsistencies and fitthemintotheeconomicorsocialcontext,inthebestpossiblemanner.

In order to complete the maintenance of correlatives both the conceptual basis and structure of the adapted classification should be understood and interpreted, as well as the changes in the reference classification or in the country’s economic and social structure. The latter based on the requirements or needs of maintenance or updating.

3.3. UPDATING

The update process refers to the review and adjustment of a correlative in terms of changes or novelties in the national,internationalormultinationalreferenceclassifications.


DIFFUSION44.1. DATA REPOSITORY MANAGEMENT

Correlatives are usually prepared in electronic spreadsheets that are stored in magnetic media and kept in the coordinationoftheNomenclaturesandClassificationsgroup.Inaddition,monthlybackupsoftheinformationproduced by DANE are carried out, in accordance with the provisions established in the policies of the Quality Management System (QMS).

GLOSSARY

Category.Generic term forgroupingof items inany levelofaclassification,suchascategories, tabulation,sections, subsections, divisions, subdivisions, groups, subgroups, classes and subclasses. Categories in a classification are usually identified by codes (alphabetical or numerical),which provide unique identificationfor each category and denote their place in the hierarchy. A category contains elements that are subsets of the classificationtowhichtheybelong,suchasactivities,products,typesofoccupation,typesofeducation,etc.

Classification. Grouping of events or objects in homogeneous sets, in a comprehensive and mutually exclusive way,accordingtopredeterminedcriteriaandtotheclassification’sintendeduse.

Code. Numerical, alphabetical or alphanumerical representation of a category in a classification, generallyconsisting of one or more characters assigned to a describer.

Comprehensive.Theclassificationcontainsallexistingoccupations,activitiesorproductsinthecountry.

Correlative.Reciprocalorcomplementaryrelationshipbetweencategoriesfromdifferentclassifications.

Correspondences.Matrixortableusedtoexpressthecategoriesofaclassificationintermsofanotherclassification.

Economic activity. The creation of value added by means of the production of goods and services, involving land, capital, labor and intermediate inputs.

Excluding. An occupation, activity or product that is located in one and only one category, or primary group.

Harmonization/standardization. The process of combining or comparing data for analysis purposes, either throughtheuseofsimilarstandarddefinitionsandclassifications,orthroughacomplexsetofexplanationsonhowtogetcomparisonsbymeansofstandardsandclassification.

Hierarchy. Structure in which the levels of classification are presented. A hierarchical or tree structure isconsideredforaclassificationwheneachofitslevelsisdefinedintermsofthecategoriesatthenextlowerleveloftheclassification

Homogeneous. Formed of elements of the same nature.

Level. Indicates the position of a category or group of categories within a hierarchy. Generally speaking the structureofaclassificationtendstobehierarchical.Thatis,eachcategorywilldependonahigherlevel,exceptfor the top-level categories, and each category will contain one or more other categories except for the bottom-levelcategories.Categoriesthatdonotdependonanyotherconstitutethefirstorbottomlevelofcategories.


Those thatdependdirectlyon thefirst-level categories constitute thesecond-level categories, andso forth.Single-levelclassificationsmayexist.

Methodology. Set of well-organized stages and procedures completed to develop a research or statistical operation, that explain what is the object of the research or the study (e.g. economic, social or environmental phenomena), the reasons to carry out the investigation, how it is going to be developed, and the tools, instruments and resources that are available in order to obtain results.

Nomenclature. A systematic assignment of names to things or a system of names or terms for things. In classifications, nomenclature refers to the systematic assignment of names to categories. The terms"nomenclature"and"classification"arefrequentlyusedinterchangeably,evenifthedefinitionof"classification"is broader than the definition of "nomenclature". A nomenclature is essentially a convention to describeobservations,whileaclassification,besidesdescribingobservations,structuresandencodesthem.

Normalization. Establishment and standardization of concepts, criteria, methods and nomenclatures that enable comparability.

Occupation. Homogeneous categories of tasks that constitute a set of jobs that hold great similarity, done by a person in the past, present or future, according to the skills acquired by education or experience, and for which this person receives compensation, either in cash or in kind.

Structure (branching). The arrangement of parts or elements (usually hierarchical) to identify relations between categories.Ahierarchicalclassificationisbasedonabranchedstructurewhereeachgroupofdetailedcategoriesis a subset of the categories on the level in which they are contained.
